Jeppa!


In the principal’s office I revealed the list of what I would like to teach and he accomplished almost all my requests. So now I’m teaching social studies that includes geography, history and politics, creative arts that includes music, arts and drama and I also agreed upon teaching physical education. I am very happy with the combination of creative and theoretical subjects. In geography we are learning how to use and interpret maps. Here some pupils in class 6 are measuring the distance from Nairobi to Kisumu.
The other day I tought class 7 to “Jeppa”. It’s a game we used to play on Sjernarøy when I was little. All you need is a long stick, a short stick, two bricks and a lot of good luck to avoid being hit by the stick. I had to invent some new rules because I couldn’t remember them all.
