This week for our Amazing Race Homework we were all set to go to South Africa (in research not in person) when we were told we were doing Malaysia instead. I was quite disappointed as I have heritage there and so our group would have cleaned up the points that week but, on the plus side, the reason we did Malaysia was because of the year 7 classes had Malaysian trainee teachers for a week. Our class (Room 3) had two guys, Dean and Daus. Not only were they great sources of information for the Amazing Race but they were very nice and also they taught us to dance Malaysian style. I don't think we did a very good job of it but you can look up the professionals on you-tube. The week went by quickly, them sitting at the back of the class or wandering around getting ideas for their classes at home during maths, reading and writing, and joining in during P.E. sessions. They were a big help and we wouldn't have had such a good project without them. We said good bye on Friday and took some photos and they gave us a very interesting book on the world. Then they hopped on their bus and they were gone and left us with lots of knowledge of Malaysia and knowledge of how to dance Malaysian style ( not necessarily well however!)
