First day at work

Just a quick post.. I might try and spruce it up with a picture or something later!

Just got back from my first day at work at a new school in Thailand..

I was getting rather nervous by the morning.. but I calmed myself down with a bit of music.. stepped forth into the classroom.. and..

everything went fine..

My first class were lovely, second group were a bit lazy but nothing too serious and both classes were only small (around 10 students)

I planned the first lesson to be a nice gentle introduction.. They enjoyed the games and made reasonable efforts with the more creative stuff..

I had a game where they had to ask questions about me using objects I'd brought in as clues and then students had to guess the answer to the questions. The balloon I'd brought in to represent my rocket show at the musuem prompted one girl to think I'd been working as a clown in London!


I knew I'd feel much better when I got through the first day..

Just got to get going on planning some more serious leesons for next week now.
