    After class... What happend?

it was a sad goodbye to Yong Woon. He had been with us for 3 months, and in that time he went from an Elementary student to a Pre-Intermediate student. Well done Yong Woon. :) It was Luiz's last day also.He had been here a month and told me 'it was the best experience of my life!' We will miss him, he is always very happy and keen to try everything. After the presentations it was time for the barbecue at the beach. Papamoa beach. This is Alex, Jeuen, Luiz and Prince . This Luiz is staying! And then to the beach. Jon took some surfboards, boogie boards and a kayak.  gorgeous day, great people, lovely weather...what more do you want? 

I went to Moturiki Island on Main Beach last Friday. I went there with teacher and my colleague. We got there by car.  We walked around the small island. This island has many paths. I touched the water, it was cold. On the island I heard the cicadas, a jet ski, children crying and playing and the sound of waves.  I saw many things there. I saw mountains, trees, birds, butterflies, flowers, a jet ski, rocks and the sea. I also saw many people; many children and their parents. I saw many little black mussels on rocks near the water. I saw a man fishing using a fishing rod. I saw a woman at the beach in a pink swimming suit walking out of the water. I think the trip was interesting and a little bit tiring because I walked a lot and the sun was too hot. Min Hao

The Pre-Int group are packing a lot into their day. They are enjoying the extra Free  classes, (the TESOL trainees are using them to practice their craft on)  and this afternoon were off to the beach to enjoy the sunshine!!
