In the little spare time Charlie 1 have, when they aren’t building their tribal houses, they have been turning their blistered hands to teaching.
The whole team have bee involved in setting up an English teaching session in Muttimoola. After kitting out their kitchen with a tarp and turning it in to a classroom Charlie 1 were off to a flying start with their little English school all they needed were pupils…The local children did turn up…they were just a little late. They were so excited they were all finding their best outfits to wear and were sprucing themselves up for the event.

Above: photos of the teaching sent back from C1Over 30 children turned up for the school session and Charlie 1 did a fantastic job with them. As there were so many children there they did a warm up exercise to find out the levels of English then split them in to two groups. Each group then ran a plethora of sessions from names games to simple English phrases to the alphabet and even numbers and simple sums. They finished off the sessions with some songs, the hokey cokey, heads, shoulders, knees and toes and our favourite…aroo cha cha.
The mini English school was a huge hit and since then the children have been shouting out names and phrases to Charlie 1 as they work!

In other news today Charlie 4 went on safari and saw 13 elephants including a baby one! Whilst Echo 5 also were on a safari and saw no elephants…a big sigh for Echo 5..ahhhhhh, maybe they’ll see some tomorrow at the water hole.

Hi Merry,
ReplyDeleteJust back from Cornwall last night and got your letter. Hopefully you've had some of ours by now. Amazing to hear from you and it sounds like you are experiencing all the things you hoped to. So glad you've seen an elephant and really surprised about the sunflowers. Your letter was really vivid, can't wait to see all the pictures. Cornwall was lovely, but sky was varying shades of grey. We had one completely sunny day, which was lovely and two afternoons, one of which was the day we arrived. Came back to lovely sunny London! Still had a good time though. Theo is staying on in a tent with Cat, Elliot (different tent!) and more people joining them. Dad is having his birthday over several days, and as he has to go to Birmingham today he has elected to have your cake waiting for him for a nice cup of tea and a sitdown when he gets back tomorrow. So looking forward to seeing you again - less than two weeks now! Much love from us both, Mum xxxxx
