Working With The Kids

Kristy on Wednesday continued working hard in the library but happy on the job. Her tattoo experience was fantastic. Trudy and Peter had a sweet tooth and decided to grab an ice cream at Foodland. Trudy chose passion fruit and Peter Chocolate Banana. Afterwards they paid a visit to Westpac Bank to pay for their departure tax. Trudy also received a nice blue vest from her school. Joyce while waiting for the bus had a surprise and was offered a ride to Titikaveka from the secretary of the school. She had never been on a bike so she didn’t refuse  and loved it. Fran read to the children and dusted down a small section of the library which is now nearly clean. Victoria brought in Almond croissants and Fran has organised to take some of her pumkin hummus bask with her to the states.

Yolanda was thrilled to play her ukulele for the pre-school children who were cute and great. She also enjoyed a nice stroll into town. Barbara (aka mom), helped out in the 6^th grade class at our school. In the afternoon she was asked to help look after the 3^rd grade class since all the teachers went to the soccer field to demonstrate how the kids played football for the NZ Prime Minister. My mom forgot how vastly different the 3^rd graders are from the 6^th graders. Carol received some much needed R& R but she was able to make an appearance for dinner. I helped the children practice for their tests, but they are now going to be held in October. I also helped the kids with spelling, math and reading. My high-light was getting to rap and sing for the kids. They were so entranced by it. Some wanted to give me coins for my singing. My mom and I met up with some of her friends for dinner at Trader Jacks. They were lovely and the food was great. I ate ribs- so good!
