Friday was our last day at Point England school. I haven't been able to post much because I was feeling unwell and the week was very busy. Here is a recap of the end of the week. Wednesday I got to spend some more time in a year 1 classroom. In this class there is a 1 to 1 iPad student ratio. Students used their iPads to go over sounds, write stories, draw pictures, and listen to stories. It was interesting and informative to see how five year olds were mastering the iPads while learning literacy and math. Wednesday after school Katie and I had the chance to play a some netball with some year 4/5 girls. We played a game called Master, which is similar to the basketball game bump. On person starts as the master and passes the ball to the next opponent, the opponent shoots and if they make it, they are the master. If not they take turns shooting until someone makes it, all the while trying to make it so your opponent doesn't catch the ball too close to the hoop. On Thursday, I got to join the year 7/8s for their weekly sports class. This week the students were learning Aussie rules rugby. They began by learning how to punt the ball. After that they played a game called bomb the teacher, in which students line up and try to purposefully punt the ball at the teacher and hit them. So myself, Mr. Barks, and Mike, the sports coach, lined up to be bombed... luckily the students were just learning how to punt. Thursday night was the year 7/8 social, their first dance of the year. Jessie and I were at the social to help out because both of our teachers were their to chaperone. We manned the concession stand with two year two girls who wouldn't let anyone walk away without paying! Friday was our last day at Point England. The day started off with their weekly Friday assembly. Students sang songs, learn about leaving a smart footprint on the internet, and received awards for academics and sports. Katie and I both received a Duffy award for our help in the classrooms, we got to join the other students on stage to accept our awards. For lunch we took one last walk to the yummy bakery for sandwiches and sweets. After school we said our goodbyes to the students we had been working with for two weeks, our wonderful teachers that let us into the classroom, and the families that let us into their homes, then we were off to the airport to Brisbane, Australia for more adventures. Thank you Point England School for letting be a port of your community, we learned so much! Thank you to the Nua's for allowing me to stay at your house and welcoming me to your family! I will miss you all and cannot wait until to come back to New Zealand.
