I have been in Kuwait for a month now and I am getting used to a more relaxed way of life. For the first 2 weeks, I had an school induction which was quite dull to be honest. There was a lot of talking and sitting and listening...and not much information being taken in! The fun part came when we were allowed to decorate out classrooms. I really enjoyed decorating mine. I love to make sure that each and every child will enjoy learning in my classroom and so far it's so good. My class are lovely, chatty too but so very lovely. I am glad I do not have a class like last year who were just out of this world!
So far I have been to two beach clubs that were lovely but I will not join as there are mixed facilities. I am hoping to join gym nearby and I am looking forward at getting into more of a routine. Next week I start Arabic which I am excited about! I have also looked into horse riding...I want to make the most of my time whilst I am out here.
In terms of teaching, it is different from the UK. The majority of the staff are unfamiliar with the British curriculum which was a bit odd at first considering the school prides itself on teaching from the British curriculum. Other than that, the staff are nice and my team and I get along well. The children are lovely and they are thriving to learn which is so nice to see.
Out of school, I have been to a few malls and eaten out. Kuwait is beautiful and relaxing but there is not a lot to do compared to London. Obviously they are two different places on two different scales! But I am trying to find things to get involved in so I am busy and making use of my time.
Tomorrow is Saturday so like a Sunday in the UK...and I will be popping into school to do a few jobs. That way on Sunday aka Monday morning everything will have been prepped :)
Well I am going to sleep now, as I intend on waking up early to do a few jobs!
Love & Blessings,
Sara
