day 6
Mon 24th October - 3.30pm by Billy Hancock
today was fantastic as we spent the day at the school and i taught 2 lessons which were.................
i taught maths to kindergarden by using a ruler and measuring random stuff outside which they found very fun as they were all collecting things for me to measure. but the highlight for today was teaching creative arts to set 5/7-8 yr olds, i taught them about expressionism and i done this by explaining how art can express emotion with diffrent coulers and a little bit about how expressionism can be shown in other ways like music noise facial expressions exetra........
and that lesson made me want to be a teacher so much as the lesson went really well and i felt amazing afterwards so over all today has been my favourite day so far, but im missing my family even more now and although im having the time of my life and im very greatfull, i cant wait to get home and have some proper heinz beans because the ones here are just not the same. and i want to see my family but not as much as i want to see the beans no offence guys. see u soon xxx
