My Gap Year

Over the last few weeks I have spent alot of time in the nursery of the school. The classes are small but they make enough noise to make up for it! Its been hugely challenging teaching a group of five year olds how to tell the time when their English limiting, but it is very embarresing that they can understand most of what i say and in four weeks I have learnt about five Nepali words.

Every morning the children will gather in a circle to sing songs before lessons. Recenty i was asked to teach them some new ones and i struggeld to remember a nursery rhymes. Another task has been to brighten up the class rooms, so on a strike day when there were no children in school and Moo could’t go to work we sat on the roof, in the sun and coloured in pictures and wrote out poems (neiter of us knew any so we took disney lyrics of an ipod!).
