Meeting the Kinders!

We have had another great day!
Upon our arrival at Eastleigh, we went to visit the kindergarten class. The children were writing their exams. Yes, EXAMS! The teacher left the class while some of the students were finishing up their test and then mayhem broke out. You can just imagine what a roomful of 5 year olds were like when left on their own! There is absolutely nothing in the room for them to do so they just ran in and out of the classroom to the dirt play yard. We gave up trying to get some control! Some were even going through the tests on the teacher's desk looking for their marks!! The young students were all over us; touching our skin, our clothes and just wanting to be near us. They are very cute!
There are 60 kinders at the school. We ended up marking some of their exams and then manually recording the marks in a record book made up by the teacher. Their final report is out of 500 marks. I printed the teacher's name, date, class and term on the report cards. Oh for a computer!!
In their play area, there is only the two soccer balls that we presented to them last week. Another favourite activity is rolling an old tire around the yard. We can't imagine what they do during the rainy season. The yard would be one big mud hole!
