My first day with UAC today. I'll be helping out at their local primary school in local village called Jamadjainle (think jam 'n' jelly). All the classes have their six weekly exam this week, so the work this week will probably be observational only. It's a new school with a role of about 300 odd kids (there not actuallly odd) aged 5-12 years. I am introduced to the entire school in a packed, and I mean packed hall. I can barely move, pinned against a wall by the most energetic kids you can imagine.
Response to the news of my arrival is considerably more muted than what can only be described as ecstatic responses for announcement of a new roundabout and a small consignment of 1960's Singer sowing machines. Ho hum. The teachers are very welcoming and some are keen to hear about schooling in Scotland. I hope things go well and one thing is certain- I am going to need my sleep. Curse those bells.
