Hello Again...
So last Friday was our final day of Term One, and the end of my first week with student teaching!! Apparently every Friday is 'Sports Friday' so the PE crew and any other teachers get together to play some sports. This Friday we played "Tchuckit" or something like that... very odd game. Then we moved on to Cricket. Kel came to school with me, so she was there for the games! Both of us had never played or really even heard of cricket before but I suppose we caught on pretty quickly.... Kel did quite well though because she is a baseball girl and that is a big part of the game... kind of.
After about an hour of playing though it was moved on the After School Drinks -- obviously our favorite part, and mainly why Kel came to school that day! But the last day of a term the teachers stay after school and have drinks in the staffroom. It was lots of fun!! Its so different from America because that would be so NOT allowed. It was laid back and a good way for me to meet some new teachers and get more acquanted with everyone!
From there, we came back to Fi and Sam's to pack for our adventure the next day, as well as get ready for dinner out on the town that night!! One of the teachers decided to rent out part of a restaurant, Cafe Istanbal (Turkish food) so Fi, Sam, Kel and I went down there to meet up. It was DELICIOUS food. And a new teacher friend, Michelle, invited Kel and I to stay the night at her house, she lives in Wellington and we were meeting Zach early the next morning in Wellington for our road trip...
Going to try to upload some photos....
