For the last 3 days, I've been in Teri's school. This has been an AMAZING experience for me. Due to the fact that I've been skyping Teri for 4 years now, there is a very large population of students in the school that know me.
On day 1, I spent the whole day giving a presentation to a variety of classes ranging from 5yr olds to 8yr olds. I showed them a movie which my Room 5 pupils made and also a movie that I created about our school. Everyone was very excited about our climbing wall:)
On the 2nd day, I had the opportunity to visit the classrooms of other teachers in the school. It was really interesting - there are many things that are the same as us but there are also a lot of things that are different too. In each class that I visited, the children were really curious to find even more information about NZ. Popular questions were:
What time is it right now?
What is your weather like?
What time does your school day start/finish?
Do you have any dangerous animals?
Finally on the 3rd day, I presented a powerpoint to the teachers informing them about life in NZ and in particular our NZ Curriulum. I think we may be getting an influx of American teachers in the future.....
