Could it be snow???

Today out at Frankfurt International School it is snowing! That is only about a 20 minute drive from here! I wonder if we will have some snow over the weekend?

I haven't been up to too much over the past few weeks. I have done a painting to hang on the wall, have been to a few rugby games and have been out to Frankfurt International School with the rugby boys to teach the Year 5 children there about nutrition, stretching and warming up for sport and exercise.



This is a photo of me on the bus on the way to Cologne. Cologne is about a 3 hour bus ride from Frankfurt. Guess how long it took us to get there? 5 hours! We were driving along the Autobahn (which is the German word for motorway) and we hit a huge traffic jam! It wasn't like a traffic jam in Auckland where you just move along REALLY slowly.....we didn't even move at all for at least 20 minutes. The German bus driver turned on the traffic report on the radio and it said that a truck had driven off the side of a bridge up ahead and that they had closed the motorway until they could get cranes in to lift the truck back onto the road. We had to take a bit of a back road so we could get back onto the clear motorway ahead. We did finally make it to the rugby ground though and Jason's team won 81-5. Jason scored 2 tries.





The photos above are at Frankfurt International School. Jason and the other rugby boys had to go out to the school to teach the children a few things about sport and exercise. I went out too to look around the school, take some photos and help out if they needed it. Jason's group wanted some ideas for some games to play with the kids so I taught them a few of the games we play in NZ. We played games like rats and rabbits, red light, green light and octopus. The children really enjoyed them. Being at the school and doing a bit of teaching made me miss teaching Room 10!

Thank you to those people keeping me updated by email and through comments on the blog. I am hoping to be able to talk to you through a computer to computer phone line called Skype. It's lots of fun. I have been talking to Mr Rosamond and Mrs Behague on it. They can see me through a webcam and Mrs Behague has bought one too so that I can see her at school. You should go a visit her to ask which morning she will be talking to me next and you could come and talk to me.

Miss you all lots. Hope you're having a great Term 4!
