First Few Days Teaching
Firstly I need to apologise for not posting on here recently, school has been so manic and I am still trying to get into a routine at the moment, as things need changing a lot.
Well P1 South America are officially mine now and I am responsible for teaching them.I was a little scared to say the least as it was a new country, new school and a completely different routine, but I was up for the challenge!!
I had a few plans for the day, but as a said early things needed changing a lot, and it was going to take time for the children to get used to these changes, as they have been used to worksheet after worksheet and that is defiantly not my teaching style!!
I also have some characters in my class that are going to need to be sorted out but all in time.There are so many little things that the children should be doing already but are not, like sitting on the carpet nicely, putting their hand up, these are all things I have got to work on with them!!
I am also trying to get to grips with the planning, assessment, homework (which is given most nights), routines, children and many more things too.
After my first day teaching I had to report to the emigration office, this meant having my photo taken and fingerprints taken so I could get my identity card and get my passport back.The following week meant a trip to the police station for more fingerprints to be taken (just in case I decide to become a criminal) and then it was off to the bank open an account so I can be paid, woohoo!!
As well as school, I have been keeping busy trying lots of new foods and going out with the girls from school, everyone is so friendly and I definitely wouldn't be able to do this without them, they are all so supportive and helpful!!
Will post again soon, when I have some more exciting news to tell you, probably after my birthday, which is in 3 day, so excited! Will be nice to experience it in a different culture and country with my new friends, but will be missing all my friends and family at home!!
Until next time! Lots of Love xxx

Hannah Johnson Hi Hayley, Happy Birthday!!! I'm missing you a lot! How is it in Indonesia???? Hope you are having a great time! Love from, Hannah xxx
Hayley Pearce hi Hannah!! thank you for your birthday wishes, had a lovely day and my new friends surprised me by taking me to a lovely restaurant by the sea and we ate some really nice seafood!! Indonesia is really good, but very different to England, it is very hot and school is nothing like England, we start at 7am and finish at 1pm, so very early mornings here, do you think you would be able to do that? You will have to ask mum and dad if they have skype, then we can see each other and i can show you round my house here! love Hayley xxx
Hannah Johnson Hi Hayley, We have got skype and would you like to do it 10am on Saturday (we think that's 5pm where you are)? I don't think I'd be able to do the school times there!!!!! Glad you are well and had a good birthday and birthday meal! Thanks for replying, Hannah xxx
Hayley Pearce hey hannah, that should be ok, but not 100% what I have planned for tomorrow, if I can't skype at that time I will give your mum a txt to let her know and will definitely arrange for another time!! My skype name is 'LittleMissHales' hope you can find me! xx
