Another day another 100,000 Pesos

Today started with a senior moment... I dont deserve to have senior moments but then any other way to describe it would be I am losing my head !! I went out to meet Martha to get the bus to school and she said "What are you doing for the meetings this afternoon!" to which I thought for a moment and said "But we dont have meetings on a Tuesday" only to be politely reminded that in Colombia as most of the rest of the Western world it is actually Wednesday. However for every bad thing that happens as the bank advert says a good thing also happens to maintain the balance... Its a day nearer the weekend.

The Kids worked hard on their projects but they do work slowly this is mostly down to too much chat and not enough work. So now they are getting it home to do - If they can't work in class then it has to be completed in their time. This is basically because the project doesn't allow for SLOW !!

The school in Jordan posted some pictures of the new school and classrooms, so i thought I would add them here, there is no comparison really with here as the classrooms i am using are 30 years old compared to these ones that are only a few months old.













These are of course standard classrooms but they do give an idea of the layout, I have asked nicely for some pictures of the Technology rooms including the Workshop, Graphics Room and ICT Rooms, and look forward to seeing them when I get them.

Short post but more tomorrow.
