3. Wochenbericht

Tuesday, 9.12.2009

As every day we sat in circle in order to have the aura soma session. The color of today was turquoise. Today there was Alison who made yoga with the kids. She also told them a story and they sang a song. During this we prepared the boxes for the flea market. After the yoga session some children already helped us to make the boxes.
After the snack break we really began to show everybody how to make them. This was a nice issue because it did not take much time to make them. In the end we painted the boxes. Now we can use them as secret boxes, or present boxes, or cookies boxes. Later the kids tried their costumes for the ‘Puff-show’ and we distribute the different roles.
After lunch there was time for free play. Then the kids started to play football. The rest of the day we went on with making boxes. At the end we finished the day with three oms.


Wednesday, 10.12.2009

The color of today was dark blue. After the circle we started with singing ‘Puff’. Till the snack break we played with play-doh. Today the children imagined they were in a bakery and made bread and pizzas out of play-doh. Dariya sat down with Zorah and Issa in order to make some writing exercises. After this we had the snack break.
The next thing the children did was free play. This is always very interesting to follow. The children have such a good imagination and so amazing ideas what they can do. Moreover, in this time the younger children look what the older children do and so they learn from them. In the end we started with making octopuses out of wool.


Thursday, 11.12.2009

The day began as every day in a circle with the color violet. Today Andrea was in the school to make music with the children. She brought a lot of instruments with her and the children tried them out. They also should hear which tone is higher and which one is lower. In the beginning this was quite difficult for the children but in the end they could make the right decision. We also sang and played some Christmas songs the children already knew. The younger children started to prepare the doom for the Christmas cookies.
After the snack break everybody tried his costume for ‘Puff’ on. As everybody had the right costume we started with playing ‘Puff’. Andrea played keyboard and the children sang and acted. This took a lot of time.
After the lunch break there was free play. After a half hour we started with making the cookies. Everybody wanted to help and make his own cookies. But, after about 30 minutes, nobody wanted to go on because it took to much time. So we two had to finish the cookies alone. During this time the children started to play football.


Friday, 12.12.2009

On Friday we were alone with Maria and Camilla. We started the day with painting the advertisements for the flea market. After that we sat in circle. The color of today was orange. Following the aura soma session, we started to sing some songs. Then the children put on their costumes and we practiced the ‘Puff’ musical. Today it was difficult because the children who have a big role were not there. So we had to improve a lot.
After the snack break we went on with making the octopuses for the flea market. There was free play as well. The day ended in a big circle and we sang a lot of songs. We also got the first Christmas cookies to eat and the children were very happy about that. The day ended with the three oms.

So sehen die Busse hier von Innen aus


Unsere Schule von Hinten






Hello everybody,

it's time for a new post :) And here it is.
Ja, diese Woche war sehr anstrengend und wir waren echt heil froh, als es endlich Freitagmittag war. Wir haben zum ersten Mal christams cookies gebacken mit den Kindern. Lisa wurde dabei schon mit dem Messer attakiert von einem Kind und Nadine durfte den halben Teig alleine ausstechen, weil natürlich jeder nach einer halben Stunde keinen Bock mehr auf Kekse aussteche hatte. Ja so ist das mit Kindern, alles was lange dauert wird irgendwann langweilig und doof.
Am Freitag nach der Schule sind wir 2 dann auch sofort mit Manuel nach Aswem zum beach gefahren um uns zu erholen!!!!! Das war auch dringend nodig!!!
Am Samstag sind wir dann mit dem Bus nach Panjim (the capital of Goa) gefahren. Aufregend!!! Also das die Busse nicht auseinanderfallen beim fahren ist echt ein Wunder :D Die Tür war an einer Schnurr fest gemacht, damit sie bei der Fahrt nicht aufgeht. Der Bus war proppevoll und die Menschen sind bei der Fahrt aus und eingestiegen. Echt ein Erlebnis. In Mapsa mussten wir dann umsteigen. Echt zu geil, man musste so aufpassen, das die Busse uns nicht die Hacken abfahren :P Naja, wir haben es überlebt. Panjim war ok. Es gibt richtige Geschäfte mit Markensachen, die supergünstig sind. Auf der anderen Seite ist es total hektisch und laut. Ja, da ist man doch froh, das wir hier auf dem Land leben. Gesehen haben wir fast auch alles wichtige in Panjim. Die Tempel und Kirchen sind schon echt beeindruckend. Im Affentempel war dann auch eine indische Hochzeit :)
Heute sind wir zwei denn mal mit dem Roller nach Mandrem beach gefahren und haben fast den ganzen Tag in der Sonne gelegen. Das war sehr heiß, aber schön.. Ich bin fast alle viertel Stunde ins Meer gelaufen zur Abkühlung ;) Nadine hat es dann doch irgendwie in der Sonne ausgehalten... Zum Abendessen waren wir dann in der german bakery :) Lekker, lekker. Daar moeten we nog wat vaker eten.
So, wie ihr wist ist es hier schlecht mit Fotos hochladen, also kommen die neuen Fotos Mitte nächster Woche.

2. Wochenbericht

Tuesday, 1.12.2009

As nearly every day we began in a circle. The color of today was orange. After the aura soma session some children went into the garden for some gardening, others just played something and others helped Lisa with cutting circles for later work. Then there was already the snack break.
Then we made ‘Puschel’ out of wool and the circles. The children liked it very much but it takes always so long before they are finished. So the kids stop and worked on it later. There were also children who climbed in the ‘Klettergerüst’. At 1pm the youngest children left us and we had lunch with all the other kids. After that there was an hour of free play and the children did something on their own. The last thing for today was making advertisements for the flea market on December 27th.


Wednesday, 2.12.2009

The color of today was yellow and it was also the day of the electric sky walker. That is why we began with playing with balloons in the garden. But actually that was not the best idea. The grass is so spitz that all balloons got kaput. So Tanay and Kalen began to make water bombs of the balloons. After 30 minutes we went into the garden in order to work there and plant new seeds.
After the snack break some kids worked further on their ‘Puschels’. Issa wanted to write something so first Lisa and then Nadine did some writing exercises with her. Later Nadine read a story to some kids and at 1pm we sat in a circle and sang ‘Puff the magic dragon’. In the end of the day we said out the three oms and everybody went home.


Thursday, 3.12.2009

Today we had a long day. The theme of this day was flour and bread. First of all the kids learned that there are many different kinds of flour. They were allowed to touch them and smell them. We made three groups and each group made one doom out of the different flours. Due to the fact that the doom is made of gist, we had to wait. So we sat in the circle to have another aura soma session with green light. After that we sang ‘Puff the magic dragon’ so that the kids learn the song for our show in the end of December.
Now the gist was good and we made the doom. Next we had to wait an hour and so we had our snack break. Issa and Zorah write some sentences down. Tanay did some bibliotheca work and the other kids just played something. As the doom was ready everybody got a bit of every doom to make some chocolate bread. Then everything came into the oven and we had to wait. In this break Ramesh and Luuk played animals who were sick and Lisa had to heal them. At 2 pm we had our lunch. After that, the bread was ready and we could eat it.
At the end of the day Issa and Zorah gave us a massage, which was very good indeed.


Friday, 4.12.2009

We sat in circle and talked about numbers, which were written by Maria. Some children cut the numbers and others painted them. Then we glue it on a big paper and every child wrote his name by his age. After that the kids made a picture of their own after their names. The next thing they done were playing taxi with a house building. In the snack break we ate the bread we made yesterday. Now it was already hard and the children prefer to eat fruits like apple and pomegranate.
After the break we went into the garden to water the plants together. The next thing they done were playing with the liane, which hangs in a very tall coconut tree. Furthermore we sang ‘Puff the magic dragon’ and made already plans how the children can act. Maria taught us new songs. After that some kids climbed and others listened to the stories Maria read.
At the end of the day we made the three ‘aums’ and everybody went home.

Unser Wochenende


























Hey,
Und schon wieder ist das Wochenende vorbei. Was haben wir denn alles so gemacht? Achja, am Freitag nach der Schule sind wir nach Anjuna zur German Bakery gefahren. Jaha, so was feines gibt es hier :P Oh, man ist das chillig dort und super lecker... Haben uns gleich mal ne Zimt-Rosinenschnecke bestellt mit nem Chai dazu. Danach ging es an den Strand um den Sonnenuntergang zu genießen :)
Am Samstag sind wir dann mal mit Nadine's Cousin nach Calangute und Baga gefahren um uns die Touristen-Hochburgen an zu schauen. Fürchterlich!!!! Liege neben Liege, so dass man den Strand gar nicht mehr erkennen kann. Auf den Liege lagen dann dicke Engläder die rot verbrannt waren und sich morgens schon mit Alkohol zukippen. Was sind wir froh, das wir hier in Assagao auf dem Land leben :D Aber gut, das muss mana uch mal gesehen haben. Am Nachmittag waren wir dann noch in Aswem am Strand und haben uns erholt in der Sonne :)
Am Sonntag ging es dann in den Norden von Aswem an de Strand mit der ganzen Truppe hier. Dort haben wir dann erst mal Delfine im Meer geshen und sogar einen Wal. Sehr cooli!!! Am abend waren wir dann zum 1. Mal in der Disco (Openair-Disco) im Hilltop. Der Platz und so ist echt super cool, nur leider spielen die dort nur Psycho-Trance *brech*. Die Leute kommen einem Auch alle so vor, als ob die sich irgendwelche Pillen eingeschmissen hätten.. Naja..
Heute waren wir dann in der German Bakery frühstücken. Danach ging es dann nach Morjim an de Strand, wo wir erst mal von einer Truppe Kühen begrüßt wurden :D Ja die hatten es sich huete vor unseren Liegen gemütlich gemacht. Hier haben wir dann den ganzen Tag relaxt und einfach mal nichts getan außer gesonnt oder im Meer gebadet :)
So, Fotos hochladen ist von unserem Laptop aus sehr schlecht. Wir wollen Dariya mal morgen fragen, ob wir wieder ins Office dürfen um da die Fotos hoch zu laden ;)

Vom 29.11. bis zum 3.12.

Ein Tag am Aswem Beach















Ein Tag bei Children Here and Now





Wir backen Brot





Wir zwei bekommen eine Massage von Issa und Zohra :)

Hallöchen,
Wie einige von euch schon mitbekommen haben, haben wir seit 2 Tagen endlich unseren eigenen Internetanschluss :) Ihr könnt euch ja gar nicht vorstellen, wie schön das sein kann :) Und außerdem haben wir seit 2 Tagen einen eigenen Roller und können jetzt überall alleine hindüsen (zumindest dort, wo nicht viel Verkehr ist. Hier ist nämlich Linksverkehr und es gibt keine Verkehrsregeln)
Naja, was gibt es denn so zu berichten? Am Sonntag und am Montag waren wir am Strand in Aswem und haben mal ein wenig relaxt. Aber natürlich hatten wir auch schon unser Studienbuch mit um etwas zu lernen. Das Mathebuch haben wir sogar schon bestellt und dann kann es leider losgehen mit der Lernerei :( Naja, muss ja auch sein.
Ansonsten waren wir bis jetzt in der Schule und haben dort so einiges gemacht. Den vollen Wochenbericht stellen wir dann am Wochenende rein ;) Nadine's Cousin ist am Dienstag gekommen und bleibt hier jetzt die nächsten 6 Wochen. Er will auch mit uns am Samstag nach Terekhol zum Strand fahren und uns mal den Norden von Goa zeigen, weil er hier schon mal war und sich auskennt ;)
Ach ja, gestern Abend waren wir in Anjuna auf dem Flea market. Sehr beeindruckend. wir mussten schon immer nach unten gucken, weil wir ansonsten wohl alles gekauft hätten :D hier gibt es aber auch sooooo schöne Tücher, Decken, Kissenhüllen, Schmuck, Lampen und andere Deko, dass man alles am liebsten haben möchte... Aber den Großeinkauf heben wir uns dann für den Schluss auf. Und glücklicherweise ist der Markt auch jeden Mittwoch :)
Tja das war es dann auch so bis jetzt. Nun müssen wir nur noch ca ne Stunde warten bis die Fotos hochgeladen sind :P

Sonntag, 29. November 2009

Hey, hey,
Also jetzt haben wir einfach mal unsere ganze Woche in ein "paar" Worte gefasst. Ist viel, aber wer weiss, wann wir das nachste Mal wieder Internet haben ;)Ihr musst ja auch nicht alles auf einmal lesen :P Uber Rechtschreibfehler ist bitte hinweg zulesen!!!!!!! =)
Veel plezier...

1st working day 24.11.09

The day began in a circle. Because there where so many new people everybody has to sing his name and all the others repeat it twice. Then there was a talking stick. This means that everybody who holds the stick may talk or sing or dance something to the others. All the other children are then quiet and listen to the other child.
Now the group divides itself into smaller groups and the children play with play-do or paint pictures on their own. After two hours there is a snack break and everybody shares his food, fruits and bread, with each other. For the adults there is also tea available.
The next thing we do is singing ‘Puff the Magic Dragon’ and afterwards the children made Puff out of play-do. Actually, the children were so busy with each other that they nearly played all the time in small groups. So we did not have to do very much than being there and help them if they have questions.
At one o’clock there is lunchtime and we ate Indian food and salad together. Now, all children who are about three years old go home and only the older children stay till four o’clock. After the lunch there is ‘free play’. This indicates that the children can do whatever they want and the adults just sit there and have a look. Due to the fact that the children were so active playing we did not interrupt them. We were only present and if they had questions they could come to us. At four o’clock it was over and the parents caught their children.
Actually ‘Children Here and Now’ is not a school but rather a holistic center. Our main issue here is playing with the kids. On Tuesday there were three children between the ages of 5 till 8 and three children of the age of 3.


2nd Working Day 25.11.09

The day began as well as yesterday with a circle. Everybody got a drop of white light in his left hand. Then we rubbed our hands together and gave the light to the sky. Secondly we gave the light all over our body and then into the earth. Next we dray our hands and made a connection between the earth and the sky. At last we smell the white light.
The next thing we did was singing the ‘Earth, Water, Air, and Fire’ song. The group divided and Zorah and Issa learned the numbers from 1 to 30. The other kids played with playmobil or painted with us. At 11 o’clock there was the snack break. After the break the children went on with building different buildings and cars with playmobil. Issa and Zorah made postcards for the flea market out of glitter sand. Later all kids were making postcards. Then Dariya read the story of ‘Little Buddha’ to the kids. After a while everybody went into the garden in order to play ‘Fire, Water, Lightning’. After 15 minutes nobody has any more power and so Zorah made crowns for all other children in order to be a king, queen, or princess.


3rd Working Day 26.11.09

Today we have been 11 children. First we made a circle and learned all the new names by singing them. Today we had the pink light that we gave to the sky and earth. After this ceremony we had a gardening day and planted seeds into our fruit and vegetable garden. Everybody helped with seeding and watering the plants.
After that, the older children wrote the alphabet in calligraphy on their own and we played with the younger ones. We also draw pictures. Because it was such a hot day yesterday, the younger children played with the Wasserschlauch and swim in the pool. Consequently everybody was so hungry that we had lunch at about 1 o’clock. Today we ate Spaghetti with cheese, pesto, or avocado sauce. Now there was ‘free playing’. After that some kids helped out in the new garden. Others played or draw pictures. Lisa read stories for the youngest children.
At the end of the day we sat together in the circle and Kalen and Tanay said a prayer because it was ‘Peace day’. After that we said an ‘Om’ three times and the children went home.


4th Working Day 27.11.09

Today Maria was there to manage the day. On the way to the holistic center she picked up some flowers. The children had to name the flowers. After that we all made a big picture of the flowers together. The rest of the flowers were for our new school temple.
At 10.45 we had a snack break. The next thing to do was giving the plants and seeds water so that they can grow. As every plant had enough water, we all made a big mosaic of the glitter pictures we made two days before. Then the children played alone.
At the end we sang different songs together and say goodbye with a three-time-‘Om’.


1st Tracking tour 28.11.09

On Saturday morning we went up at 6.30 am because we had our first tracking tour in Goa. We went with the car to the Holy Church in Siolim were the tour started. In total we were about 30 people of different nationalities and ages. Everybody got a stick with which we picked up garbage as well. We first went trough fields and bushes and we had no idea where we have been. Later we walked along lonely streets and trough different villages. After an hour we climbed up a hill were a lonely church was. Here we had a fantastic view over north Goa. After a while we walked further and view other churches and temples around Siolim. Three hours later we had a lunch break under the Morjim Bridge. This was real Indian because we had to eat with our hands and at the beginning it also was spicy. We nearly had a break of 1,5 hours. So we went on to the beach. But, because of ‘Ebbe und Flut’ there was no water and we could not swim. Then we were so tired that we stop a car and the man inside brought us back to our car at the Holy Church. In total this trip took about seven hours! But it was a nice trip and we saw a lot of north Goa and Siolim.


Sunday 29.11.09

Today we could sleep a bit longer because it was Sunday and there was nothing planned. So we just had a longer breakfast and went then to Aswem Beach in the north. We spent our whole day there and just relaxed in the sun. It was such a nice day, 35°C with sand, sea, palms, and cold drinks. Heerlijk!!! Hours later we decided to eat something at the beach. So we went to the beach restaurant and had Chinese food. Lekker, lekker but a bit too much. Um euch nicht noch mehr neidisch zu machen, stellen wir heute mal keine Fotos vom beach online :P At about five o’clock we went back with Dariya and met Nadine’s uncle the first time. Now we are sitting in Dariya’s office in order to write you and sent you some pictures from here. =)
