Catholic Nuns, Hindu teachers, Tibetan and Hindu kids and two crazy ladies from Hemel Hempstead. What a combination.
This week has been so amazing at the school. Sister Jancy is the most demure, graceful, caring woman I think I have ever met. She has an auror around her is surreal. Sister Lily is also all of the above but she is a stickler to rules and whats right and wrong (which is good).
The teachers at first were a bit weary of our presense but know they love us.
The children on day one were so excited we were literally jumped on by over 600 kids. They have calmed now as they know we are not going anywhere for a few weeks.
I am so grateful to mine and Janets family and friends for all the money they helped us raise. You have no idea what an impact this has had on the children, teachers and school. The teachers are amazed by Bluetac, we are on the hunt for some in Mcleod as we have ran out already. The colourful books and art resources we purchased have all been such a great hit with everyone at the school.
We started with the Class 10 and the 'Flags of the World Project', this was a great hit with the children and kids. We followed with Class 9 'Famous Buildings around the World' again a resounding success. Class 8 produced the most amazing results with the 'Mark Marking Project' the teachers and kids were so proud and gobsmacked by the results. Today Class 8 did the 'MAsks from around the World' Project. OMG I have never experienced such an overwhelming teaching experience. 41 kids took part in this project, all of them created their own indivdual mask. SEveral teachers joined us and made their own masks too. The buzz and excitiment in the classroom was unbelievable. The teachers were laughing out loud, they were cautious at first to put on their own mask but after a bit of encouragment they did. OMG what a laugh. The teachers were all taking pictures of each other on their mobile phones. They were all laughing and having such fun. IT was a delight to witness.
Tomorrow we have Class 7 'Rainbow Weaving' I can't wait, because I know how excited I will be let alone the children.
Janet and I have been asked to work on Saturday for a few hours to do full staff teacher training. I will let you know how it goes. But I am already certain I will have them making things and playing games with the colourful parachute. LOL
