Back to School



























Hi All,


I am pleased to say that today we are back at school. When we arrived at school, the classroom was rather disorganised. When I asked Agnes, the class teacher, what had happened, she said that the children had become quite disruptive during the strike. It took us a while to settle the children today, however it was no problem.

The children began to write their own version of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. This was quite a challenge for them as they are not used to open tasks and independent work. Most of the classes are generally taught as repetition and copying from the board, so our lessons are completely different. The children did well though. We also did some Clarice Cliff artwork, the children are creating their own plates.

We went to Park Villa for lunch (it's not as glamorous as it sounds) and tried some African food; Matoki, poshi, yams, Casva, potatoes and kali.


This evening we have been to a lovely restaurant and on the walk home, we saw a black and green venomous snake (don't tell my mum!). The snake was sat in the road and we nearly stepped on it. When we realised what it was, we didn't run... oh no, we stopped to take a photo!


We've had another great day and look forward to lots more adventures and laughs (we do laugh a lot!)


Love to all


Claire, Alicia and the team.xxxxx
