Some pictures of me in the classroom...

Some of you might have seen these already on Facebook (I've been "tagged"on the school's Facebook page) but for everyone else here's a selection with a little commentary added...

This is Itaembe mini English School. I've helped out here a couple of Friday afternoon/evenings here and was very disappointed to miss last week due to my bad cold. (Man Flu...?...probably). There are three classes and between 7 and early teens (14 I think). This is a private school where parents can send their children for some extra English lessons. What you can see in the picture is the entire school! It's only this one wee classroom but that doesn't matter it's still a great school.

"Can you tell what it is yet?". Pictionary here with animals and the added twist where the students have to say correctly "There is a (correct animal)" or "There are (correct number) (correct animal)" to get a point. The referee's decision is final!

These were my demonstration pictures - any guesses? I'm actually quite proud of these, I'm not known for my artistic prowess!

Does it look like I'm enjoying myself?? Yes, I am!

Although the classes like games girls v boys, I think they like Jim v class the best. Here it was hangman and if you're interested one class beat me 1-0 and another beat me 3-1. I clearly need to think up some harder words! I'm still gutted the first class pulled the one in the picture out of the fire for a 1-0 victory. All I needed was the eyes and mouth and they were history, but with their last chance they guessed the whole word right .... hamburger!

I don't have any pictures of me at the municipal school yet - I'll try to get some next week.

Watch out for some stunning pics in my next post as I've just arrived near the Iguazu falls - one of the 7 wonders of the natural world.
