Reading week flew by with Bananagram and Euchre games, reading lists, homework parties and beautiful weather. A number of optional activities occurred throughout the week including a swing dance lesson taught by Paul, Canadian trivia night hosted by Marcel, Courtnay, Robyn and Stacie, and line dancing taught by Courtney. Dinner on Tuesday was prepared by this semester’s PA contingent. After an explanation of the approximate English translation of “Stillers,” “Iggles,” and “Chooeat,” everyone dug into a huge meal of sandwiches with coleslaw and fries on top and pirogies.
Students enjoyed some small group time as well during the week. Several groups went to visit a nearby waterfall where seal pups come to play, while others visited a local pottery studio and still others went to an establishment called The Fudge Factory for breakfast.
This past weekend just happened to be NEW ZEALAND HOMESTAY WEEKEND! Students were picked up by their host families and spent the weekend getting to know some of our local friends and neighbors better and experiencing a bit more of Kiwi culture.
