Va'inga Akapulu (Playing Rugby)

Hey everyone. Just a quick update from here. This week has been a return to (relative) normalcy. The post-exam school day consists of eating at least two pieces of cake (teachers only) for breakfast at 8:30, recess until 12:30, lunch (root crop, always root crop) until 1:30 and then recess to finish it off.

Interspersed between are English review games and computer classes, which we started this week. It is most of our student’s first time touching a computer and besides an irrational fear of the cursor, they are all doing great!

                      

The real action during the day begins around 2:00, where rugby practice starts for the boys and the girls play netball.

The action begins…



Coach looks on…



Sometimes play stops because the ball is stuck in the mango tree (this is also a possibility whereas pineapple plants and banana trees are concerned)…



And sometimes it just hurts…




The girls netball practice is a bit more civil…


…or not.
