Today was Wednesday, I gave the kids an easy day for the first period. 2nd and 3rd period we were at the flag raising ceremony part of the event involved giving out the Design Books I had bought on behalf of the department. Since the kids had no idea it was happening the 4 who were awarded the books one from each grade group were so happy and the school appreciated the gesture. It was nice to give a little something back and perhaps encourage 4 pupils into being product designers of the future.
One of my grade 6 kids called Manuel came up to me today and said as he was leaving the class ..Sir I want to be a technology teacher.. its fair to say at this point in time if he was, technology would be in a bad state but then he does a few more years of learning to go, so who knows.
Tomorrow is the last teaching day before the kids start exams... then its a recuperation phase for those who have failed followed by the signing off of the kids books etc.. easy for our department as we dont have any books.
Sunday my classroom cleaner a lovely lady called Adelise is coming back to finish off the apartment.. then next week the school will come check the inventory once thats doen its just a matter of handing back the keys when I am on my final day.
Its fair to say this year for me has flown in, its been an incredible experience and I will summarise it when I write my last post on this blog in a few weeks time. For now the story continues as the days slip away in the blink of an eye.
Over 4000 hits registered on the map amazing how something set up for friends and family has grown so wide. Thanks to everyone who took the time to drop in.
