End of Term 1 already

Wow, the Earth sure is spinning a lot faster. Can you believe it? 10 weeks of school have almost flown by and the term is almost coming to an end. How are the JC people amongst you? I understand that the Poly people are still awaiting the start of the academic year.

For me, the past couple of weeks have been really busy. Plenty of marking. Lots of fun teaching Literature and fun plays. You know me, the Drama Mama. Overall, I have enough good moments in school to balance up lousy ones.

Despite our hectic schedules, the Significant Other and I found rare moments 2 weeks back to do our parent bit for one of our daughters. You wouln't believe it: we conducted a sushi-making session for about 35 Secondary students!! Yes, complete with power point presentations, You-tube videos and actual on-hands demonstrations. And made an impressive array of sushis too! It was hilarious --- the two of us most unlikely partners at work in a school environment! I'm sure the daughter and the two of us will remember this for a long long time! The show-off Significant Other demonstrated the power of super-sharp Sushi knives, only to sustain cuts to his own fingers. I scoffed and laughed my head off, of course!!

Now the other younger ones wonder if we could do fun things for their peers in their schools too. Like play rugby, cook (again!), sing or do craftwork! Hahaaaaaaaa!
