DAY 26 (5/03)

Bonjour tout le monde,

Today I had:

PYSICAL EDUCATION: Normally, Timmy and I had sports with Mr. T. (Martin), but before the lesson started I ran to Martin and asked what today’s plan was. It was rugby again. My heart trembled… No just kidding…Though I do like rugby, standing on the field myself isn’t a cosy feeling. I will watch it from a distance, I don’t like the scrum and the tackles,…He noticed this on my face (after laughing with me) and said we could also join Michelle, the female sports teacher. They were playing netball and this was more my cup of tea.

CITIZENSHIP: This was a movie lesson. The teacher first gave a short introduction what was about to come. The fragments were about ‘racism’ and lasted about 10 minutes each. It were 2 movies we have seen.
After we have seen the first movie, the pupils had to answer some questions about the content. Actually, this was really fun to do, because there was a lot of interaction and a lot of interest from the pupils.
The first movie was about racism seen in general; prejudices, a lot of racism attacks, what is your identity, religion, clothes, culture, skin colour,…
And that racism doesn’t always have to do with white against black, but it can also be for example and Englishman who just lives in Holland and the people of the street don’t like him at all = racism too!

FRENCH: Not so much to say about French. We had to use the same questions again. For us, as a teacher, it might be a bit boring to do every time the same questions, but for them it’s a good practice and they really improve their speaking skill, that’s for sure! So I am prepared to suffer some more ;-) Anything for my pupils!

Big Kiss X **
