I went to the school I will be teaching at and met the class I will be working with. I am in a grade 6 class. The students were great!...Routines are a bit different here though. When I enter the room they all stand up as a class and greet me in unison...and they won't sit down until I tell them to.
I was only at the school for the morning yesterday so in the afternoon, me and the other Brock students went to Table Mountain and rode the gondolla to the top. It was so high up that my ears popped as we travelled! I could see all of Cape Town from the top of the Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean looked like it stretched out forever! (the next time I have access to the internet I will try to add a picture of the Mountain for you to see)
I hope the plans for Earth Day are going smoothly,
Miss Dixon
South Africa

The Trip
I will travel to the south-west coast of South Africa. I will spend time in both Cape Town and Athlone.
Table Mountain, Cape Town
I was at the top of the flat part (the "table) of Table Mountain...We travelled to the top in a gondola (a "car" suspended from an overhead cable).
Devil's Peak
Devil's Peak is the pointed part of the Mountain...I see it from my bedroom window. Look closely, it looks like a face; someone laying on their back
The Springbok
South Africa's national mascot, a dainty antelope called the Springbok.
