My last morning in the classroom. The day hasn’t started off too well because Jamlick has informed me that his team won’t in fact now be back to start on the new work until Monday. After making little effort to hide my disappointment, he later comes over to say that he and his carpenter will make a token beginning later today or first thing tomorrow. Apparently the “engineer” (building inspector? works manager?) for Lewa is coming over with my lift in the morning to look at the classroom floors…our “phase three” project.

Class Four have a Social Studies paper….all two-and-a-quarter hours of it! A mixture of Geography and RE. I supervise the first hour-and-a- half, by which time the children have finished and are beginning to get restless. Nevertheless, when Patrick comes to invigilate the next 45 minutes, the class remains quiet (and presumably bored) until the time is up.

I am beginning my tidying up…quite a pleasure with no time pressure on me. Every so often I cast my eye up the hill in the hope of seeing the van carrying the promised desks, but nothing so far.

There’ll be another blog as soon as they arrive….
