Isahaya school's international day

I woke up this morning to Sheila’s wakeup call. While making my way to the bathroom still half asleep, I rubbed my eyes and thought ‘ouch, that hurt..” When I looked in the mirror, I noticed I had a bruise! I look like I’ve been punched in the eye! Well, maybe not that bad, but still. Guess Mitarai sensei’s foot hit me harder than I thought it did…!

I spent the day at Isahaya Commercial High school, where Amber and Alex work as ALTs. They had organized an ‘English international day’ and invited 8 ALTs to participate. We were each placed with a group of 5 or 6 students. Here's the group I was working with:

We spent the day doing different kind of activities together: a treasure hunt, jeopardy, songs etc. . The main show is a skit which each group puts on. The weeks leading up to this day, the students work on writing an original skit and creating lots of props. I dread having to participate in it… I think I must be the most non-drama oriented person ever.

Prizes were given to the winning groups, and what a surprise it was to find out that our group received first prize for the skit…!
