New class - Not what I was expecting

I have been given a class in the community which was described to me as Entry 2, which means, still beginners in lots of ways, and now turns out to be considerably higher level than that. I think they have been taught in a relaxed way which suited them, so I do hope that I can keep that going. They don't need to take any exams this year - next year may be another story and they won't have to take tests until the end of the year - but we have this term to tackle some topics in a fun way, and I shall give them plenty of speaking practice at the start of each class. And I must remember to give them a tea break!
