Back to Almaty

I am on my way back to Kazakhstan tomorrow for 2 days of very intensive training with 20 Primary teachers. I find myself very motivated and even excited about this. As I pack my fingers puppets, markers, play dough, pipe cleaners, giant story books and bags of sweeties, I already imagine the sessions in action and the difference that learning about practical, realistic classroom activities makes to teachers with little experience in teaching little ones. My aim to to instill them with the excitement of the possibilities that teaching under 10s afford and hopefully to give the confidence to try out storytelling, using puppets, playing games etc to help language development once classes resume in September.
Back to my packing...
