Jeudi le 13 novembre

A typical police car - not built for the chase! Funny to see 2 or 3 police get out of there. NZ police should try saving some tax payers money by down sizing - also would win the "environmental" vote!


On the Traboule hunt in Lyon!



Up and at the College by 8:00 to observe classes. I had 4 different teachers today and really enjoyed working with them and their children. All the children have pretty good English and study it 5 hours a week. All the teachers only work 18 hours a week, this is full time! The rest of the time they can be where they like – all the classes work from text books, from page 1- end. All have homework exercises to complete. So not really much preparation required - it is all there for them. One of the teachers asked if I would consider coming on their class trip for the first week in February to England – I was keen. She has to put the list of helpers forward to the boss and he then decides who can go! So will keep you posted – presume there would be heaps wanting to go. I would really like this as I get to work with the teachers and get to form some friendships and links with them and other parents.
Still have not heard form the Lycee about work there but one of the college teachers is also working at the Lycee and she has asked if I can go there next week to help her so that is great.
Came home and baked biscuits to take for morning tea tomorrow!
A really cool day!
