March 5
Much cooler today, I am thinking I might need to put a jumper on! I have been quite enjoying the heat and don't want it to cool off too much. The pool here is not heated. Up till now it has been a delight to get in to but if it gets too cold my main form of exercise will have to change. Andrew is a bit starved for physical activity at present.. His bike is yet to arrive. He has managed a few swims but there is not much time In between coming home, having dinner and going to bed!!!
Yesterday was my second visit out to a rural school, a different school to last Thursday, but very much in the same vein. Again we worked with the grade three children who had to stay behind, specially for these English reading classes, when most of the other children had headed off home. Hard for seven and eight year olds to sit still and pay attention when it is hot and late in the afternoon. I felt a little more prepared this time, knew how long the lesson would last, what it was going to be about, how things would run, etc, etc, so I felt happier with the outcome. I would like to help with the planning and making of resources so things are a little more interactive and interesting for the children. We will see how that goes.

Not sure while I am pulling a funny face but at least the kids are cute.
