24- 26^th June

A first today! A day without red meat in any of my meals! Fried eggs for breakfast, fried fish for lunch and chicken noodle soup for dinner. Hardly gourmet, but still, it’s the little things in life eh. And cucumbers and red currents from the garden as well. Helped to make up for the fact that I spent all day preparing for lessons and making the classroom somewhat presentable.

The theme for my summer club last week was music, and on Friday I had them draw posters, about the music style of their choice. Most of them did Rock, which was odd, as in the ‘I love listening to _____’ dialogs, they all said they liked Dance music. Anyway, the posters well all terrible, so I spent the day cutting out the best bits and making a collage of sorts.

Its food and sports theme next week, with the idea being 30 minutes of vocabulary teaching followed by 30 minutes of fun sports. Tomorrow will be Fruit and Frisbee, with extra words for the older groups. Another busy week in store, if tomorrow is any gauge, with Kazakh lesson at 10am, class for 6-9 year olds at 12am, 10-13s at 1pm and 14-18s at 2pm, followed by a high level English class at 3.30pm.

Each day requiring flash-cards to be made as well….and this is summer!
