Ready for the beach

Had a nice meal out on Wednesday - BBQ style again and there was a chinese theatre playing outside in the street. At first we thought there was a running commentary with the players - it was really loud and all in Thai but discovered that at the other end of the street was an auction going on - we couldn't actually hear anything of the theatre just the sound of the auction - nice costumes though!!

Last 2 days have been teaching and we've been able to plan the lessons which makes life a lot easier. The kids are so well behaved and look lovely in their uniform of the day
Monday - The teachers and children wear the Kings T shirt (well not his personal t-shirt - one with his emblem)
Tuesday - They wear pink t-shirts
Wednesday - they wear red t-shirts
Thursday - They all turn out in their scouts uniforms
Friday - is Traditional Thai dress

I have no idea when they get to wear their actual school uniform - all a mystery!!
On Friday there were educational department people from Bangkok at the school and they wanted to watch us teaching!! We were told that they'd come to the lesson after lunch but then turned up unannounced to our Grade 2 lesson - at least we had the lesson planned so we looked quite professional and I got the kids to sing a song to them too so they were well impressed !
Today is a free day and I've been trying to find an internet cafe where the speed is OK and I can upload more photos but the 1st cafe was as slow as a slow thing and this cafe is fast but I can't get the camera to connect so I'm afraid you're gonna have to wait for more photos.
Off to the Beach - Koh Samet island - tomorrow for the last week in Thailand. It's been quite hot here the last couple of days though we do get massive downpours in the evenings sometimes. I hope the beach is fine.

Signing out now for a few days

Have fun!!

Love Sue. xx

Perhaps they were their actual school uniform on the weekends? a true Mystery lol!

I think you have found your true vocation....teaching! all sounds like it was very professionally put together, and a song for the people from the department! Go Sue!!

Have Fun. xxx
