Today was our earliest wake up time so far! Breakfast at 6,15 and on the road for 7 to the Village of Mandoor, where Theresa and I entertained 12 young children most of which were around 3 years old. We were greeted with flower necklaces and happy faces. We started the session by introducing ourselves and the introducing Theresa's shy little friend, The Gruffalo (puppet) the children all said he felt beautiful. We read them half of the story and then got them to pretend to be some of the characters from the story, which they all seemed to enjoy. Then we moved onto some crafts and we recreated the wood scene with some extra glitter, we all love a bit glitter and stuck on some of the characters from the Gruffalo. The children were all very proud when we stuck there pictures up on the wall. We then moved onto making Gruffalo masks which again they loved and were very excitable when we told them they could take them home. Next we sang them some songs, Hokey Cokey definitely seemed to be the most popular of the lot. They then sung us some English songs they knew. We finished the day off with musical chairs and ball games outside. The children appeared to have a fun day and it was lovely to hear them giggle and compare the colour of their lolly pops. I personally had an amazing time with them and feel my confidence is growing with each session.
