Hey just a quick update!
Had a good weekend in Zanzibar - went to Prison island and met some lovely giant tortoises! Got to feed them and touch them, some are 200 years old apparently. Then did a spot of snorkelling, saw some nemos and other pretty fish! Also did a spice tour where we got to see all the different spices growing and taste some exotic fruits. Had the day off school yesterday as it was a national holiday, so we went to the wood market to pick up a few bits and then to the expensive western Mlimani mall to get some nutella lol!
Back at school today. The kids had a test, had to wait outside for nearly 3 hours while the teachers faffed around photocopying it! Think its a waste of time as the kids cant read and write yet so they had no idea what they questions were asking. One of them was to 'mention 10 parts of your body.' I thought the teacher meant draw them so I was explaining the question to the kids, but she wants them to write down the words. I think she has lost her marbles, as only 2 of the kids know how to write the alphabet out let alone spell out words like shoulders!
Anywho, got to get some money out as is last day of teaching tomo so want to get all the kids a pencil. The school is closed next week so Im trying to arrange to paint the classroom as its a bit shabby at the mo and could do with some brightening up!
Hope you're all Ok, see you soon xxx
