Day 10 Teaching
Back into the routine of teaching up early and out to catch an auto across the city. Arrived at the slum centre to meet the ladies. First class was the older boys and started late as they all drifted on Indian time. We did the usual songs and used a book we found in the Big Bazaar yesterday to work on animals. We played animal bingo, animal book walk through inculding where they live and what country they live in. A quick animal hangman before the lesson ended with friendship bracelets. Yesterday was friendship day in India. Mrs G has been given a number of bracelets from the girls today. Such kind and generous kids.
The girls was a simpler version of that lesson with the bracelets however the lesson was late again due to lunch. On Mondays all the children bring in food well nearly all and they share it with their friends and peers. It was loverly to watch them sharing food with each other and making sure the children without food had something to eat. One boy had a little tiffin box like the one I bought at the weekend.
The younglings was a animal walk through then animal masks followed by bubbles and hopscotch in the yard.
On the way home in the auto I asked the driver to stop by the metal box seller in RK Purham Sector 6, (If you fancy popping over to get some yourself is by the CNG station and Mohan Singh Market). I bought a standard box for 400R £4 and ordered a box which is a copy of the Alpos topbox on the Bykebitx website costing £95. Ready in 24 hours costing 400R £4. Bargain Bargain.
Home to Monsoon rains, clothes washing, omlettes and lesson planning. Next week its a holiday this week is still work.

Hi!
ReplyDeleteIf you had thought nobody was reading your blog, well you're wrong but maybe I'm the only one commenting :-)
It looks as if you're having a great time and the children have obviously taken to you and Alison. Please remember that we will NOT be sitting down in circles singing songs or making lion faces with paper plates - there's enough entertainment going on here already!
The metal boxes look great and are so ridiculously cheap. I just hope that your baggage allowance can cope with it. The piss-pot lid is very patriotic and clearly let's you get away with riding against the traffic, but there again when in India...
Take care, enjoy!
My blog is showing hits all over the world inc Australia and Russia. Glad you are all enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteYou will enjoy making masks.
