Hi there.
Well we made it. A just over 5 hour coach trip between cities - imagine Edinburgh to London - and half the road dug up and laid with sand. Bumpy bumpy to say the least. We were taking bets to see if the 'no road' scenario would be with us all the way but thankfully it was just for an hour or so. We all saw the funny side though and it just added to the experience.
When we got here we were picked up and brought to our new accommodation. A lovely place with air conditioning and TV so David was happy! We were even able to watch Manchester United save a 3-0 thrashing from Chelsea and the following Ghana game in the Africa Cup of Nations. We did actually go out for this and sampled some goat kebab and local hospitality. A fine evening.....then bed.
School this morning and what a place. You will see from the photos the discipline in the kids at their morning assembly. Something which could be transferred back to the UK perhaps? Unfortunately I was mistaken for a teacher and asked to take a lesson in the afternoon. Hmmmm. I think you can all rest peacefully that you won't be getting a new teacher in the near future. It was very hot and I'm sure that had something to do with people nodding off in class. Even the very polite teachers at the back were heading that way. I may even had to stifle a yawn or two!!
Now we have internet we are all able to add to the blog site so prepare for some more additions. Please feel free to comment.......
What was your lesson about Mike?
ReplyDeleteI was to compare the environment and nature of Ghana and Shetland. No preparation, resources or clue meant I ran out of ideas after 20 mins. There was then 40 mins of questions about Unst/Shetland etc which didn't make the most riveting of lessons.
ReplyDeleteP.E. went really well this morning though!
