14th + 15th August- Meg and Harriet, Clemy and Ione

CARBBBBBBBBBBBS, Hello everyone (when we all arrive home please refrain from the amount of carbs you feed us all! (With the exception of Warburton’s)) Day 2 on the project and we began to make our paper machie fishes having the youngest children (Harriet Meg Libby Millie) was a bit of a challenge! There was tissue paper and glue from wall to wall in the classroom but we had lots of fun alongside the children and their beaming faces. Our objective for the summer school is to teach the children the phonetic alphabet to help extended their English skills.  A a a a a a a a ANT B b b b b b BELLY C c c c c CAT (with actions I hope you can picture us all having a W w w w WHALE of a time) The children are all very happy and appreciate all of our work as much as we appreciate all their glee!  Furthermore work on the project is moving in a forward direction with cement, mud and paint galore! Well its goodbye for now from me (Harriet) I’m off to eat more tomato soup! It’s nearly as good as Heinz!

Well this is day 3 on the project and everything is still going good!!! We have had a great time again with the kids doing numbers and colours which was a challenge but it was great, we then made kites and let the children round up and down on the grass they seemed to have a great time. While we were having lunch the rain started but then it died down and we got working. Me (Meg) Millie and Harriet did the lower part of the school wall panting as we are the short ones in the group, IT WAS FUN GETTING COVERED IN PAINT!!!  When we were finished with the paint we then started to do some gardening which was very exhausting!! We then finished and got back to the hotel, where me, Harriet, Libby, Millie and Lucy are all dreaming about chocolate that we can’t have and thinking about the carbs we have been eating! Anyway time to get back to eating carbs and soup! By the way everyone is all good! :D From Meg 

Clemy and Ione!!!!

Hiiii Englanddddddddd! Today was a very emotional day for those getting results like myself (Clemy) but we were all staying strong!! Breakfast was a very nervous one!!!! Today we arrived at the school with the very smiley children once again!!  We had a very colourful day! Our t-shirts that the children had put elastic bands on for tie dying were ready to be dyed! Each group had a different colour, very bright! The morning went down very well, and break time included Catherine and Clemy singing a very energetic song to the children! They were very happy and were laughing!

The weather was fantastic to us! We got lots of things done for example we decided to paint the basecoat of the classroom and plan exactly what was going where. We were ready now to chalk out our design. We decided that Harriet and Ione were going to have tomorrow morning off to chalk out our design ready for us all to paint!! The day turned out very well, Chloe was in charge of the tie dying, dipping then and mixing the mixture, and Catherine, Hannah and some more helped by hanging the t-shirts out on the line to dry!!

When we got back to the hotel, it was very sunny!! We were all very hungry and ready for dinner! Dinner was lovely as usual! We then reflected about the day and how well it went, we talked about how strong we are all being and the fact some of us got results but we are all being strong about it all!!
