More english teaching!

After the success of yesterday I woke up at 7 to sort out some ideas for the lessons, I wrote a bit about the queen and the royal family, and talked about them, I wrote down a few english games, and by the end of the first classes (8.20 - 10.55) I was out of ideas for the afternoon! 

I have talked about holidays, and my traveling experiences, a little about europe and where I have been there, thier ideal holiday destinations and why, their families and siblings, 
I think tomorrow I will have to find a lot of new topics! 
I asked them to find a news story which interested them and prepare to talk about it tomorrow, but that may not take that long at all. 

After lunch with the kids and a sit down in the flat we moved onto some more talking and again, I ran out of ideas, and then games with the class including chinese whispers, (ironic) and getting them to all head outside and ended up playing a chinese variant of duck duck goose with english questions as a forfeit. 

Madness! 

In the evening we watched a film and we chose forrest gump, the subtitles were 2 minutes out of sync and then stopped altogether so I am not sure how much they understood but they were all very sad over the main characters trials! 

The kids are great though, crazy and so sheltered, the limited sexual references in forrest gump were enough to provoke fake vomits from the guys and cries from the girls, and luckily the child abuse, racism, black panthers and drug use scenes, all of which I had forgotten, also went over their heads a little I hope!! 

I did manage however to leave all my memory sticks plugged into the virus riddled staff computer, hopefully they are still there tomorrow!
