Let the holiday begin!

Yet again I seem to be the one who has struck lucky with the internet connection...though I only have a few minutes to kill whilst waiting for the bus this morning. Today we're off to Jinja to visit the source of the Nile, which should be great. We're actually all really looking forward to a day out of the city as the pollution is really bad and it will be nice to breathe some clean air for the day.

Our phase in the schools is now over. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Najjera but it really was exhausting. We all taught lessons on Wednesday and had the experience of the class singing a song of thanks at the end. Of course that happens all the time at home! As with Ssaku, Najjera put on an assembly in our honour at the end of the third day. Amazingly, children in the nursery classes managed to sit through this with very little fuss and it lasted over two hours!

Ssaku School have posted some pictures of our visit on their website so if you want to see us all (in our painting gear!) go to:

They did get a little confused by Mrs Jary's position despite us trying to explain!

Anyway, I think I can hear the others starting to gather which probably means the bus is here. Hopefully one of the others will be able to post before we leave on Tuesday.
