Red Light, Green Light

Form 3 is supposed to have 4 periods per week of Chemistry so I tried to go through the timetable (weekly schedule) to make sure all 3 streams have 4 periods scheduled. I tried to go to one class during the period when they didn’t have anything scheduled that I had penciled in chemistry. Lo and behold, they were in biology even though it’s not on the new schedule. I kind of wonder if I will be able to get all 4 periods for chemistry that I am supposed to be teaching each stream per week.

For Sports and Games time after school, I tried teaching the girls some basic games but it was an epic failure. One game I tried was “Red Light, Green Light”. Although none of the students had likely seen a traffic light before, I think they could remember green = go and red = stop. However, they either didn’t understand the stop & go commands or they couldn’t hear me. Either way, they ended up playing some game they know so I actually learned a new game. I don’t entirely understand the rules but I get the basic gist of it.
