SHARING OUR LAUGHTER WITH YOU

Reporting from the projects we share our laughter and smiles with you!

This week on our Zambia teaching project, one of our volunteers Tammy taught her Grade 6 class how to swim.
Who says you can't teach people how to swim in a land locked country?!

Tammy lay across a table in front of her class and taught them front stroke, back stroke, breast stroke.  However, she didn't realise the table was broken.... You can imagine how that ended!!

Once the table situation was sorted, Tammy asked students in her class to come up and demonstrate front stroke.  The picture in the Grade 6 work book shows the picture of a person swimming with one arm in front of their head and the other behind them..  When the child lay on the table to show the front stroke she lay there with one hand above her head and the other on her bum (like the picture in their book) and when Tammy asked her class would the child sink the whole class shouted SWIM!!

Tammy just had laugh!

Can you see yourself in Tammy shoes... Would you like to get some experience in teaching?   Read more HERE for information about our teaching project in Zambia.
