As the new principal I was keen to employ the techniques I will be using next term, and, as you can see, the children certainly enjoyed their experience.
One of the highlights of the week came during this game of 'Mummies' (the one where you wrap each other in toilet paper). At the beginning of the game I asked the group why we didn't look like mummies. Of course, someone said 'Because we're boys'.
Throughout, I was helped by our teaching assistants, Tumi, Hiral, One and Panfi who got involved in the drama and even had their faces painted!
Despite many of the children being younger than those normally taught by Helen O' Grady we gave a performance to parents at the end of each week. We also demonstrated the kinds of techniques such as introductory activities and snippets which work so well throughout the term.
