Wednesday was another fantastic day with unbelievable weather. We have been so blessed to have had the weather, it has made all the activities much easier.
In the classroom things seemed different from the previous two days, with a far more relaxed approached and a bit more chaos with the kids. The size of the classes certainly became more obvious to me as Kel and I tried to do PE with a class made up of 26 boys and 13 girls.
As for the staffroom that we are renovating, things went slowly as the varnish on the floor dried for the second day. On an upside, the kicthen cupboards arrived and the men finished the painting of the windows on the outside.
In the afternoon we challenged some of the boys to fix a cricket net that was very broken. We managed to interest 8 boys and teacher into doing some degree of fixing and sweeping of the pitch. This was followed by a quick team challenge, the challenge that if the boys pull together two teams and practise up to Christmas, then I will treat them to a day out with a game of cricket and some good grub. Following this challenged we did a quick practise session made of batting practise and fielding. The potential in these boys was eye opening. Just needs encouragement.
To end the day we had a site visit to the new Soccer stadium that has been built for the World Cup Soccer in 2010. What a treat.
Last night Bill and Ros Holdeness treated us to a fantastic meal. Thank-you
That is all for now, we promise pictures are on their way.
