[Week 21: March 11 – 15, 2019]
Back to
school after that exciting sports week, we had normal schedule back. We
experienced again interesting lessons with our grade 5 and 6 students and organized
the library where we can already see a progress, but there is still a lot to do
until the end of the school year.
We
had a lovely time during the storytelling in daycare and kindergarten. This
week, we had company from one of the other volunteers from our German
organization. Her name is Anis and she is working in an orphanage in Bacolod
City, which is about one hour away from Silay City. She was curious about our
new work at school. We had a great time together and the kids liked listening to her story.
During their Physical Education (P.E.) class last Wednesday, we started to introduce handball to the junior high school
students, which we will cover for the rest of the school year. Few weeks ago, the
kids asked us what sport we did back in Germany and when we answered handball, they were
quite confused because they have never heard of handball before. So, we started to introduce it to them this week, explaining the sport and its rules. After that, we
showed some videos of how the game looks like and their reactions
were gorgeous. You could really see and hear their excitement when they finally knew what
handball is and we hope they will have a lot of fun playing it in the next
weeks – because we are really excited.
See you
next week! 👋
Franzi and
Annie
