Party Time!

I spent over three hours baking them, but it was certainly worth sharing my Welsh cakes with the other teachers at the school! Today was a birthday at the school, which meant no teaching and even more fun than normal! The school has one birthday party every three months, celebrating each child’s birthday that falls on any day during the three months. Today we celebrated the birthdays of children that fall between August, September, and October.

Unfortunately, typhoon level three was still in place during the morning, which meant the morning classes were suspended. Lunchtime was great, as the teachers were forced to eat the birthday cakes for the morning birthday party, they weren’t aloud to go to waste! They were also forced to eat my welsh cakes, and pretended they loved the burnt taste and tough texture. Surprisingly, none were spared! By lunchtime, school was re-opened and back in business!

The afternoon party was fun. I felt like I was some famous person at many points throughout the day, being swept away for numerous photographs with the birthday boys and girls, I felt like it was my birthday at times! I also introduced a new game to the K1 and N1 students, involving small mats, jumping, music, and apples. Although it didn’t go completely to plan, once adapted for their level of coordination skills, the children soon begun to enjoy themselves!

Overall, thumbs up to birthday parties at school! I can’t wait for the next one!
