Introducing the PE staff of GEMS Abu Dhabi
Stella: Stella from Romania and has been here for about 6 years. She has an accent that puts fear into children but joy in their hearts. Her uncle is Arnold Schwarzenegger (kidding but hey she could kick your butt as fast as he could). She is the movement and music teacher at the new campus and loves dancing around with her 3 and 4 year olds to the song "Hey give me 5". She is a straight shooter and will tell you like it is. She was also a gymnast in a past life, we are waiting to see her tumbling skills!
Nick: Nick joins us from Thailand but is originally from the UK. His little friend on top is his 4 year old son Johnny. He had another 2 year old son (I don't believe him though, because we have never seen him) and a Wife (Emma) who is the English Language teacher. He will also be at the new campus running PE and organizing all the sports teams. He also has some sweet moves on the dance floor, as he showed off today to his KG2 class to the beats of "I got a feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas.
Johnny: Don't let those 3 inch eye lashes full you this kid will make you play hide and seek for hours! Johnny comes to school everyday to Ms. Sarah's class. He greets us in the morning sometimes slump over his Daddy's shoulder or runs in and says "chase me your a monster!". After a long day of school, when you think a 4 year old would be tired, he comes back to the gym, screaming "chase me your a monster!". Johnny really brings a new dynamic to the team.
Me: You better know who I am by now.
Jen: Jen is back and better then ever! Last year Jen and I shared the office on Najda street and it was cozy then. Now with three extra people, well lets just say its more then coozy! Jen will continue teaching PE on the Najda campus. I am sure she will continue teaching her kids sweet soccer moves and equally sweet dance moves. I do have to say we have a crazy dancing PE staff! When Jen isn't teaching you can find her kicking butt and taking names at boot camp and running half marathons all over the world!
Helen: Helen also joins us from the UK, and will be teaching PE at the new school. She is a basketball player at heart and busts out a few dance movies here and there, I think she is eager to get in the body sox (coming soon to a blog near you, the body sox). When Helen isn't making field goals on the basketball court she can be found watching coronation street on her Ipad because she doesn't have real tv yet because she doesn't have her visa.
So now that you know who all these people are I can get back to the post...

With back to school night just around the corner we figured we would have a little fun with the PE profile picture. The above picture was not our first attempt by any means! We all thought it would be fun if we did a "jump" picture. Except no one was around to take the picture, so we said "pshh we got this stack of mats and a self timer" DONE!
So there we were all ready to take our "jump" picture after the 10 second timer....
So yes as you can see we didn't get it right the first time around. I mean I look like I am about to have an accident on the gym floor.
Take 2:

GREAT! Oh wait, who is that still on the floor! Ugh Helen! Weakest link.
So this went on for...oh...about 10 mins. Until we gave up and took the very posed picture you see at the top.
Since blogger is uploading my pictures at a rate of about 1 picture every 10 mins I will not upload anymore tonight. But stay tuned for some awesome actions shots and learning about our little PE team.
