As some of you may know I have recently become part of a 'connecting classrooms' project linking schools in Britain with schools in Ethiopia and Botswana. On Monday 4 teachers arrived from Botswana and 4 teachers from Ethiopia, it has been an amazing week but a very busy one aswell!!
The thing that has struck me most is how much I take everything for granted, they had never seen the sea before (not that Blackpool has the nicest sea to look at!!) or seen motorway service stations and lots of other things. They loved Blackpool tower and are obsessed about taking photos of everything.
Has been great to see the response of the children, they are like celebrities at school and have been so interested in seeing everything we do and getting really hands on with the children. Had a fantastic meeting with the school council and the teachers and the children gained so much from the experience and the chance to talk with them and ask all of their questions.
Off to the lake district tomorrow and then ready for more exciting adventures next week!!
will post some photos as soon as I work out how to do it properly!
