Today my little girls left the classroom belting out ABBA's "Mama Mia", it was quite entertaining. I have also been amused to hear them sing songs like "Single Ladies" by Beyonce. Who knew that 5 and 6 year old South African girls would know such random songs? Things are still going well in my classroom, although last week and this week have been far more exhausting. Our grade started going to specials (aka music, pe, computers, etc) last week and it has completely disrupted their whole schedule. They have been very rowdy and not listening well lately. We have also developed a bit of a bullying problem. I never knew that 5 and 6 year old girls could be so nasty!
This past weekend we went to Tsitsikama to do a zipline tree-top canopy to celebrate the birthday of one of the girls that I am living with. It was amazing to be whizzing through trees that high up! One of the trees was over 600 years old...it was humongous! That night we stayed in a tree house hotel overlooking a gorge. It was beautiful there and we woke up to the wonderful sound of light rain on our canopy roof.
This weekend the plan is to hang out more in the area of Port Elizabeth and have a bit of a rest. At the moment we're thinking of either doing a Township tour or going on a boat tour to see the penguin sanctuary at St. Croix Island. I'll keep you posted!
