Asian kids can be very cute...

Last Tuesday I went to the Kindergarten and instead of all my morning classes I went with the small middle and big classes to the Beijing Botanical Gardens. It wasn't amazing because Spring is just starting but I was forced to become a tour guide for about 60 kids asking them what colour the flowers were and teaching them what tree, leaf, and stick meant haha. At lunch I got sick of taking photo's of the limited fauna so I snapped a few of the kids that were willing to smile for me. I also had a laugh at their lunch that was provided by the school......Bulk boxes of MacDonald's Cheese burgers! and when it was snack time I didn't see any sign of natural food, only lollies, chocolate, dried funny looking meat, and things I couldn't even recognise as edible... No wonder 90% of Beijing's children are in dire need of emergency dental work!!! haha




Little Liam is clearly one of my favourites...even though it's against teacher regulations I can't help but love him, he's such a cutey and (sometimes) looks hardly Asian at all with the biggest eyes!

Tong Ton, She's also up there with the favourites shes gorgeous and always up for a cuddle.

The real DBZ! Andy clearly has the upper hand in this epic lunch time battle

Doing it Super Sayin style :) Steven and David obviously slightly more evolved at this point!

You've got to admit he's a stunner

Two of the three girls in my class Casey and Annie

Bella who is a good friend of Doris and I see her a fair bit out of school.

Tom - Middle class 5 years old, throws hissy fits and refuses to do things but he's by far the smartest one in the class.

Suzan - relatively new to the Middle class, very shy but loves touching your face and hasa killer smile.

Harry - 5 tiny kid and a pleasure to teach but the poor thing has a body of eczema and spends all lesson scratching any and every part of his body to the point of blood, it's so sad and awful to watch but he's such a happy kid

No English name and I'm hopeless at remembering the chinese Names...Middle class, looks like a miniture old man he's so small and always wears vests. Very happy and cute to boot.

Morgan - Big class, one of the smartest, a terror but gets away with it becasue he's hilariously funny when he purposely muddles Enlglish words of songs and sentences I'm teaching. His Mum is a nightmare but luckily was the one impressed with my open day...phew

Dandy - gorgeous girl but loosing my patience with her in the classroom as she's constantly off with the faries.

The principal on the left...who could pass here as a sweet old soul...don't be fooled...if photo's could talk she'd be yelling at me to move the sun out of her eyes...

Probably the most beautiful view in the gardens...it was a bit of a flop

Counting the flowers with the middle class...every teacher has their "thing" and this one's a clapper! Haha she obviously believes anything that needs doing in the classroom can be done with a series of claps; starting a song, moving chairs, starting to speak, but mostly attempting to get the kids attention. She must have leather hands by now!
