We got there, and wow. We already knew that this would be the best crèche we've been too. It looked a lot better than the other Crèche's we'd coached at. They had a nice patch of grass, a good play area for the kids, and a really nice looking building too. We were impressed.
The kids were amazing too. We had 2 groups. A group of 4/5 year olds and a group of pre-primary school children, who were a bit older. Both were brilliant, a couple of disruptions but on the whole brilliant. We really enjoyed it. We did our standard crèche session of movements in the square to start with, followed by passing the ball around in a circle.
The second group, however, broke into song inbetween exercises. The just randomly burst into singing children's songs, which brought back memory's of the songs we sang back when I was at Primary school. It was amazing to watch. After the session was over we let them sing a couple more songs before saying goodbye.
After that, we had about an hour to chill out at the Learning Centre, where we had a chat with Lourens, discussing trips we could make, and how quickly the time has gone by, before heading to the Drommedaris complex.
At Drommedaris, we normally run a life skills session, where we teach kids valuable life skills, such as brushing their teeth, washing their hands, and why they should be nice to eachother. However, Joe had got a big supply of books that he wanted to put in the complex, to turn it into a bit of a library, where the kids could us it to read and learn. We had to clear out the store cupboard, empty the room that was being turned into a library, and get it all cleaned up and looking nice. It didn't take long, about an hour or so, and it looked nice at the end, which was cool.
After that, we headed back to Ruyterwacht, where we went to meet up with Densel for our football training session, ahead of their match in the Communicare Action Soccer League on Saturday. After Densel was finished with the girls team, he was ready for us. There was about 8 of us, and he split us into 2 teams. Martin on one side, me on the other, and we played a match. Unfortunately for Martin, his team we awful, and we were all over them the whole game. Even with the addition of Densel in goal for them, we still managed to dominate. It was quality for me because it gave me freedom to play football and enjoy it, but Martin was doing all the running in his team, without much success. Hopefully, we should have a strong team for Saturday, and we can finally get a win for Ruyterwacht. Find out about it on Saturday.
Early night tonight, busy day tomorrow. Got our computer workshop tomorrow morning, before coaching at Trafalger Square high school, before All Stars FC, who are Yonicks old club. They've asked us to show them some attacking exercises, so hopefully we can give them a good session.
