25/04/07: Oldborough Manor II

Phew! Finally got my blogs relatively up to date! This one is actually as current as the ‘date posted’ says it is. I just wanted to put up some photos of my little lammies! This is what is right outside my classroom window: fluffy, wooly sheep and their little lambs. Course, the lambs are going off to the abattoir soon, but we don’t think about that. I must say though, their bleating can sometimes get quite disruptive during class time. And the smell is not necessarily condusive to good learning either...

Meanwhile, school is going quite well. There are only 4 periods in the day here, with a 15 minute break between each period except lunch time which goes longer. Everything else, curriculum wise, is the same as it was in WA. Except they’re a little ahead in terms of wrapping things up in more red tape and bureaucracy and going to private companies with assessments. Shop talk. I’ll stop. I really just wanted to stick up these pictures of the cute lambs outside my window. When the kids are being shitty (I have to be honest, they’re not that bad), I look outside and see them eating the grass and they make me feel good.

Also reallu glad to hear/read that you are enjoying yourself.

But what the hey, I've got around 30 weeks of teaching left and then I'm off on a new direction in life... admittedly it won't be an overseas direction but, hey! Any change is eventually good, right?

Anyway, miss you! Big hugs and kisses.
