There’s been a rush of activity here just now…largely centred on my laptop.
I’ve been trying to find out from Lewa whether or not the funds truly have arrived in their account (sadly not yet) and so when Moses goes on his motorbike to town tomorrow morning he won’t be able to place the order for the books and stationery.
Last night, on the off chance, I tried skyping home and had a chat face to face with J. So I emailed Mr and Mrs Green to try to set up a call to school. It was lovely to see you, Matilda, Ella and Meg, and of course you too, Mr and Mrs G and Mrs W. How big the world is in many ways, and how small in others. I hope you enjoyed your quick tour of Sanga courtesy of my skype camera.
Moses will be taking my laptop and battery for recharging tomorrow and I’ll ask him to top up my modem sim card too (I’m presuming that skype uses lots of megabites...oh dear, how ignorant I am!) If he doesn’t make it back tomorrow evening the blog will be quiet for a day or two, and so shall I.
Mrs G, you may well be right about that rain on the way…the clouds are coming!
Oh, one other piece of news. Sanga Primary School top class had their first lesson in Crounders today with their Games teacher Mr David. (Crounders…geddit?) They hereby challenge All Hallows Firsts to a match (date and venue to be confirmed…Egypt, maybe?)
Here’s what I see when I come out of my tent each morning.
Bon weekend, tout le monde!
This is 6C

Hey Mr.Ellery, Tom Woods here, We have Milfield today in hockey and we're gonna win! Lucky you're not in Japan after that huge earthquake/tsunami. Did you hear about it? Hope you're having a good time in Kenya, Tom Woods and Olly Neilson.
ReplyDeleteBonjour Monsieur Ellery. Elliot,Tom G and Luke here. Luke is playing Milfield today. Elliot and Tom are going to play on Thursday against someone. This is Elliot, and after school today I'm going to go home and gaming!!!!!!!!!! Tom is going to do boring stuff and go and pick up his brother from Downside. Gaming is much better!
ReplyDeleteWe tried to put hello in Swahili but on Google translate it just came out as boring old hello. Can you tell us how to say hello in Swahili?
Good Bye from Elliot, Luke & Tom.
Hello Mr.Ellery, are you missing me? I have a quick question, is it legal to eat zebras? The Bs and As have matches agaist Millfield, which we will win of course!
ReplyDeleteGood bye, Joey < -fish!
Hello Mr. Ellery! We've been reading your blog in Maths and P.S.H.E. We would like it if the children sent us a letter about themselves and their new pencil cases. You know the school address, can you put Harry Miller's name at the top of the letter please.
ReplyDeleteFrom Harry Miller, Arthur Harman and Eli Richards....
Hello Mr Ellery,
ReplyDeleteIt is Abi here, Kitty and Annie are with me as well. The under 11 girls are playing Wells Cathedral today, so wish us luck!
Hi it's Kitty: Abi and I won our acting class at the Bath Festival and Daisy and Annie won their's too. We all got trophies!
Hi Mr Ellery, it's Annie here, we hope you are having an awesome time and we can't wait to hear more about your trip. We all think it is really cool that they are allowed to call you Mr David over there, wish we could! Hope you have a fab time! See you soon!
Abi, Annie and Kitty!
Hi Mr Ellery or Mr David as they call you there! It's Henry Oliver here. We've got some matches today. I think we're going to beat Millfield as we have done with most of the matches so far. It's quite warm here today. For once! But there's meant to be snow up north. Enjoy the weather (probably better than here I reckon).
