half term...
can you believe we're having 1/2 term already? neither can i! although technically it's 1/3 term as we have 2 '1/2 terms' this term. confused you yet? Lina and i are doing river and swimming duty (supervision to ensure we don't lose children). we're also organizing a water relay type thing which is going to involve us throwing water balloon at the students as they try to 'safely transport' items from one place to the next. of course this is not in any way meant to be 'payback' or stress-relieving ;)
some of the other activities that the children can participate in are bike riding on the airstrip, go-carts, tons of swimming time, computers, tubing on the river and the list goes on. basically we try and squeeze in as much fun as possible and try to forget about school for 2 days (monday and tuesday). we're praying for beautiful sunny weather as it's not as easy to keep kids entertained indoors, especially if there's a storm and we lose electricity! classes resume on wednesday, which is my longest
day as i have no spares or breaks until after supper. this should be interesting after the kids being hyped up on candy and ice cream and fun stuff for the last 2 days. i will try and update this as the half term fun goes on. oh, one other thing. i've given the esteemed pleasure of being asked to spend monday night in the girls dorm with the grade 5 & 6 girls. as'fun' as this sounds i'm still not so sure i want to do it... we'll see tomorrow if i cave or not...
more later...
