August 2nd

Today Jess and Kirsty went to Puakahaela to play games and teach English with the little ones. They saw a monkey in a tree.

Jonny was ill so stayed in bed for the morning to rest and felt better in the afternoon/evening.
Dan took students for a run for fitness and Beth, Pascale, Katie and Matt worked on agility, quick feet and anaerobic fitness.

Katie, Pascale and Beth took swimming whilst Dan and Matt coached badminton for the mid-morning session. The students have always been good at badminton, but they seem to be improving well at swimming.

Pascale and Katie taught the younger children at Pambahinna and Beth and Matt taught grades 6, 7, 8 and 9. Today they worked on opposites, syllables, rhyming words, directions, similes and metaphors. A lot of good reviews were received from the parents for the teaching all the students were doing within the Community.

At 4:30 the team sketched out their ideas on the walls of the Pambahinna Community building, almost ready for painting in a few days.
