During lunch,everyone was seated at the dining area anxiously waiting for the afternoon meal.Its always exciting to anticipate what's cooking before it appears on the table.It was sliced bread,with chocolate spread and milk.Apparently,Tibor's favorite.He devoured his food like a hungry bear and didnt care where the chocolate was extending to on his face.When he was done,he had chocolate all over his face like a thick brown handlebar moustache.

Kevin and Khalil walked into the classroom as usual.Khalil played in a few corners before deciding to try on the knight's costume at the role play area.I had taken the sword from the Just 4's and brought it back to my class cos i figured that's where it seems to belong,together with Lancelot's armour and the dragon's outfit.Kevin found a stuffed pirate sword at the other corner and began to practise his guard skills and swift slices.The two coincided at the center of the room and somehow it dawned on them that they could actually challenge eachother in an instant sword fight.I set the scene and staged a suitable scenario.They stood side by side and the battle commenced after the count of three.Khalil held the stronger sword,and Kevin held the softer sword as they exchanged quick slices and guard breakers.The battle was becoming tougher as both fighters were relentless.So i asked one person to give up and accept defeat in an indirect way.Khalil wore the knight's costume,so he was the anticipated hero.Kevin lowered his guard and Khalil stabbed him in the chest.That's how Lancelot earned his victory.

Adam gathered some toys and surrounded himself in a circle at the playroom.Sease was there with him,so obviously he was the co-pilot.Every child present in the room seemed quite interested in the game,but Adam wouldnt let them play.When Mubin reported this case to me,i came up with the best remedy.I told them that there wasnt enough room for everyone in the aircraft but if Adam could spread out the toys and add some more,they could board and enjoy the flight.It worked,Adam was convinced and before i turned around all the boys and girls in the playroom were on Flight Playhouse!So much creativity,endless fun!

Mubin travelled early last term cos his mum was going for check up abroad.He resumed yesterday and the school had missed him for every day he'd been away.I welcomed him warmly at the door,and exchanged greetings with his mum.She told me how much her son had missed us all.I was delighted to hear that.I didnt know that the next day,this lady would surprise me with a gift from her trip.I received a bag from Miss Fatee,Mubin's class teacher and inside it was an elegant white shirt with bold grey stripes and thin red lines.I tried it on when i got to my class and it was just the right size.And to put the icing on the cake,it matched my grey denims perfectly.Though i took it off so that it remained new until it was time to go formal =-)

Adnan dashed into the classroom holding Ibrahim's hands and came to me in the morning."uncle Ahmed" he said.but i didnt lift my head up to look at what he was trying to show me,so i just answered "yes?" he said "look!we're wearing the same thing!" that's when i looked up and realized that the two boys were putting on the same kind of shirt.I smiled and put on a surprised face "wow!this is brilliant.how cool is that?" they were both excited.So i asked them to pose for a twin pic right in front of my table.

After lunch,the kids incisted that they were tired of being indoors and a bit sick of playing with the same old toys.Considering the weather was nice and the environment set the perfect scene for a fun outdoor play.Mr Carl,me and the crew decided to take the kids outside to the backyard.We grabbed our digging tools,toys,etc and headed for the sand area.There,we made majestic sandcastles,battlements,starfishes,footprints and a whole lot.Everybody had a blast until sundown.I enjoyed every bit of it except the sand in my shoes and the dirt on my jeans.

I was having my Tetley and biscuits this morning,while the tiny tots were playing in class.Suddenly,i noticed a large transparent box full of rubber animals land on my table.I was startled as i had no idea where it came from.All the children rushed to pick up a toy from the box.That's when i asked "where did this come from?" then somebody replied "from the shelf!" i turned around and looked at the shelf.Yes,something was missing.I wonder how their peepers managed to scan the box.Just then,i came up with an awesome idea to put the kids in the mood.I asked everyone to pick a toy and pretend he could morph into that animal.I went for the great white snow owl,and the others made their choices.We had fun for the moment :)
