The past six months seem to have flew by. Plans to raise money and organise our trip now seem like a distant memory. With only fifteen days to go until we head off to the exotic land of India we are both becoming (if it is at all possible) more excited. The fear of the unknown is looming over us like a thunder cloud and the anticipation is growing day by day.
The money we raised has been spent on some of the most wonderful resources. The lesson plans are complete and everything is packed in two large suitcases. We decided to take everything ourselves rather than ship it to India which is very costly, especially for nearly 50kilos. I am sure Janet and I will have a laugh at our own expense when we arrive in Delhi just before midnight on the 30th May. The thought of arriving in a new country with two massive suitcases, two huge holdalls and two lots of hand luggage, fills me with dread, especially for two ladies with not the strongest of backs.
The challenge of teaching over 500 children is getting closer. Teaching in its self, is not a problem. But teaching children how to be creative could be eye opening. Teaching creative cross curricular lesson is something I love and I am extremely passionate about it. But how will the children of St Marys warm to my style when they are only used to learning by rote. This is something I am sure I will discuss more over the coming weeks.
