weeek 6... really this time
Phil Here,
Sports Day was on Tuesday this week, and it was quite the good time if i may say so. We hiked to bar number at eight. After a half an hour we arrived at the grounds. there we met the other volunteers and some of the trekkers doing the village discovery tour (a trek set up by jiwan to give tourists a taste of village life in Nepal, part of the proceeds benefit the villages), a British mother and daughter, and a couple from the Netherlands. during the day we chatted with the westerners and watched the kids, who were having a great time. the drill, dance, and marching was fantastic, i will confess that i was surprised by this. Unlike the last sports day, they kept track of each schools points, and the winner was given a truly massive trophy. we came in third overall, but the children were not discouraged by this, so all was well. i did tug of war again with the other headmasters and we won this time, SM and NB are still quite sore i believe, and i have several blisters.... but it was all worth it.
The only day we had class this week was Thursday, and class I had its time test. some did poorly, and others well. overall i was experting better results, but there are some students that need to retake (babul has mumps), so there is hope yet. other than that not much occurred, i am trying to teach the proper use of the plu-perfect, but the concept is yet to be grasped. difficult as it ism, i trust that class III will eventually understand, they are by far the brightest class.
Next week Class II has a test as you know, and that might prove better, and we must begin to write the conversation terminal Exam (Dec 1).
well that is all for now
