Nourinn Koko - 29th Aug 2006

Visit school today and had 3 classes - feeling a bit deflated as they were pretty rowdy 1st years and actually couldn't speak any English. The teacher insisted that I still do my introduction even though they won't understand, so whilst I blabbed on about Crieff, haggis and Nessie the girls curled each others hair (don't know WHERE they got their battery powered tongs from!!), played various hand gesture games and the boys mostly slept...with their heads on the desk and everything! My teacher just explained that it was too hot (no kidding!) and that they were all tired...

Hmmm have to re-do my entire year's worth of lesson plans I think!

I'm sure my dad will be able to suggest 'traditional' scottish techniques for ensuring a classes complete attention! ;-)
