Saturday 15th March

Hi guys, sorry I haven't been updating the blog - I've had problems signing in.

The last few weeks have seen very big classes, up to 60 students. Also plenty of new volunteers. I'm expecting fewer over the university holidays, so if you are around, please come down!

I'm not sure where we are in the syllabus - mine has disappeared and last week we did an entirely oral class, describing personal characteristics and debating world issues.

Roles for this week:

Lead teacher for intermediate: Liz
Lead Teacher for Beginners: Liv
Assistant teachers:
Keyholder:
Cooking:
Childcare:

We're having a management meeting on Monday 17th March, 7-9 at The Common Place. All welcome.

Hope to see you all on Saturday!

Liv

Volunteer Roles

This is to give you an idea of what the different volunteer roles involve (but these are by no means set in stone!)

Advanced class planner/teacher:

Intermediate class planner/teacher:

Beginners class planner/teacher:

Teaching assistants:

Key holder opening up: You need a key for the Common Place. You need to arrive by 12pm and unlock the front doors and the back fire exit. Maybe also be the one to make sure there is veg or go to the market if there isn't?

Key holder closing: Make sure all the washing up is done, that chairs and tables are arranged neatly, that all resources from the lesson are put away, that everything is switched off and there is no one left in the building. Then lock up. Often there might be another group using the building afterwards so just make sure they have a key to close after themselves etc.

Childcare volunteer: Take care of the kids, play games
with them or make sure they're happy on the computers. Try to keep them busy and not bothering their parents!
