Day 5

In the school to join the classes and CCA today. 

Shared with her the resources on Google Earth which she has also used with her students. As the internet connection is weak, she has invested $68 a month on personal data package to go online and engage her students with resources from the internet e.g. youtube videos. The students are not allowed to bring hand phones into their classes. Textbooks are on loan to them - they collect at the beginning of the year and return at the end of the year. The students will write their notes on notepad and groupwork is encouraged. 

Assembly programme. Had to postponed to 9 am as it rained in the morning.
