so first 2 weeks back at school teaching since last term. it is a new year for teaching here so things have been fairly slow at getting started, time tables all over the place but think its just about up and running now!
thought i would just chuck a few photos up for you all to see. big highlight the last 2 weeks was our well wash yesterday up rumassala hill!!! absolutely loved it!! felt cleaner after a well wash than a shower - so refreshing!!
January in schools here are packed with sports as they dont do them any other time of the year so this month we have seem some cricket matches, netball, running races and more to come.
the boys arranged a cricket match, against st pauls school from london who were touring sri lanka, to play the team they had been coaching at UMV:
running races on the road outside SGV:
kids watching the races:
"dolls houses" - made of saris by the new grade 1 parents. they are used to welcome the new grade ones as a cross over point between leaving home and joining school:
emer, Lady (the amazing school dog) and her puppy (name still not sticking...been tibs, boxer, sebastian - sebie or bassie for short...i like bassie). he is so cute! lady is a great mum too, a snake was just outside where they sleep and lady was so fast to chase it off and save her wee puppy - emer and i watched from the balcony...:
Emer and i playing in the sea in our saris:
Hope everyone is great and having loads of fun!
Also thank you so much to all of you who helped me to raise the money to come out here, i am so grateful and having the most amazing experience, thank you!
Love kirstin xxxxx
