All Things Considered: Uganda

We had a lot of fun this week. We spent Monday through Thursday at the upper school and Friday at the lower school. We continued our rotation of English lessons in the classrooms. This week P7 continued their burial vocabulary unit, P6 worked on story-telling and legends, adjectives, and vocabulary, P5 worked on direct speech and indirect speech, P4 continued with their farming and harvesting unit, as well as word tenses within sentences and finally P3 worked on ‘some’ and ‘any’ and their animal sounds unit.
On Wednesday we had recreation time after school, where we joined the children in playing netball and jump-rope games. On Friday we visited the lower primary school where we taught them songs we could recall from our childhood, such as ‘Monkeys jumping on the bed’ and a refresher of ‘Hokey Pokey’. They also taught us their own songs. A few of us were able to help out with English lessons in the lower school classrooms.
On Saturday we traveled to the Entebbe Botanical Gardens/Beach with the family, teachers, and some students, to celebrate Shanel’s birthday. She is now three. Finally, on Sunday we finished our painting project at the upper school, completing the final two classrooms. Whew what a week!
