Thursday afternoons is the "activity period" for the students. My old school had it as well, so it's probably a requirement from the education ministry. For two periods, eighty minutes, students attend an activity of their choosing for the semester/year. The activity is hosted by a teacher and could be anything from drama to sewing to baking to soccer to board games.
The Red-nose club was affiliated to an organization in London that raises money for the poor on a specified day through activities and comedy shows. The comedian were invited to our school this evening (I didn't go), and our day was scheduled with some fun activities.
First it was crazy dress day. And I played.
I wore one soccer shoe and one rain boot. I wore knee high red-striped socks over cream colored tights. I wore black shorts over the tights and a purple plaid long-sleeve shirt. I wore two silver costume wrist guards that block bullets. I wore two funky necklaces, my hair in pigtails and a wide-brimmed hat.
There was a crazy dress contest and I was a judge. A quiz show where I was a participant. And a money-jar contest - which I was also a participant.
The quiz show I was against my colleagues. I thought I would lose (can I still blame baby brain) - but my colleague with the PhD took one for the team. She chose all the obviously wrong answers and the prize for being the loser was a bucket of water over the head. The prize for the jar with the most money in the jar was a pie in the face - which also happened to be the same colleague.
It was a lot of fun
