My Dad brought me over a bright orange spacehopper that's been living in my cupboard for the past few years, and the entire school is obsessed. I must've taken about 300 children for P.E. in the last week. They've never seen one before and so they all LOVE it. Everyone screams when we get it out and it gets prodded by small fingers and punched by slightly more vicious fists constantly. Gigi came home from school the other day and told us that some of the kids from our school had been speaking to him and telling him about it. I love it when they're happy :)
It's been a really nice week, done some usual English teaching, millions of P.E. lessons and lots of singing (I've caught on to the fact that this is an extremely good way to stop a class running riot if they have nothing else to do). It's awesome when they sing; they all starting dancing up and down and grinning and doing air guitar, using random classroom objects like the schoolbell and the duster for the blackboard as a microphone. It's SO cute.
Annie and Rebecca also bought two footballs last week, so P.E. lessons are getting more and more advanced, the school's P.E. equipment now consisting of a field full of potholes, a pile of rocks (used for marking goal posts) and 2 footballs between 600 children. I can't believe how lucky they feel and act just to be given this.
So I am in the internet cafe at the moment waiting to go and meet my friends to travel to Naivasha, where we are staying the night tonight, to start this insane bike ride tomorrow morning. I'm actually really looking forward to cycling 70km for some reason, and we've planned an equally insane night out afterwards to celebrate and just to make sure we have no energy left whatsoever on Sunday.
