SOME MORE NEWS

Well its been over a week since my last post.
 
We have now been in our new school for a week and a half now.  It has been pretty busy having to get my classroom in order, as well as the art room and Library.  I have been getting home really tired, that just after supper I fall asleep on the couch.  NO its not old age.  The girls have been coming to school after lunch time to help me with some of the preparations that I have to do.  It was also brought to my attention that not only am I teaching ECE, but also Grade 1.  I am very excited.  So now it looks as if I have 3 ECE learners and 2 Grade 1 learners.  School will officially start on the 9 September.  Well email photos once school preparation is finished.



 This is the view of our apartment.  The two buildings that look the same are ours.  We live in the one on the left.  This is a view from our staffroom.

 

At the supermarket  we found some dried fruit and couldn't wait to taste them.  However, it looks like dried fruit, it feels like dried fruit, but doesn't taste like dried fruit, except for the apricots.

The prunes were salty and we couldn't eat them.

 

The kiwi tasted like cod liver oil

 

 The apricots were very nice.

 

During the week we phoned in for an order of pizza from Yummy that I have previously written about.  Very yummy indeed.

Chloe is such a special girl.  Every time I see here she gives me something to eat.  Sometimes I am too scared to try it and take it home for the others to try first.  She gave us these apples, probably the size of table tennis balls, or smaller.  They just eat and eat and eat.  And they don't put on weight.

 

And then Vivien the Chinese Language Teacher gave us a gift all wrapped up.  When I opened it, it was moon cakes.  It is a short crust pastry with fruit mince meat inside. However the spice that they used in the fruit mince meat was different and really potent.

 

                                       



 

Today I had to dress up for my photo for the school wall.  YES I KNOW.  I am on the wall of fame. (big head)  Looking good.

Today is a very special day.  Paul and I have been married for 16 years.  WOW.  FANTASTIC. While I was at school today he prepared a special supper for me.  He is wonderful and I am spoilt.

Tomorrow we will all be leaving home at 5:30am to go walking.  Hopefully we will see some nice things and places.  Will take photos and post them as well.
 
Well that it for today.  I will keep posting and you must keep reading.
