A few more things I have learnt...

  •  Smiley faces on your work are very exciting
  •  If you lean your arm on the desk next to a certain child it might get kissed (aww!)
  •  You can buy nearly anything at Nakumatt... if you can find it... (phonics cards obtained on a second search of the children's book section!)
  •  Kenyan classrooms must be decagon-shaped or something - here is a quotation from the curriculum handbook:

Learning corners
These are centres of interest that children carry on activities that enhance learning. This includes:
a) A theme corner
b) Activity area corners:
      - Language corner
      - Mathematics corner
      - Science corner
      - Creative corner
      - Social corner
      - Outdoor corner
      - Music and movement corner
      - Religious Education corner
      - Life skill development corner


  •  You can buy any colour wellie boots (called gumboots) in Karen Provision Stores as long as they are black
  •  Once you have bought wellie boots the rainy season will mysteriously turn sunny again
  •  After it's been rainy there are more mosquitoes
  •  A small gecko can catch and eat a large moth:



  •  Geckos go to the toilet a lot, all over the place
  •  Going on a safari is surprisingly tiring and unsurprisingly dusty
  •  Living at 5 and a half thousand feet above sea level can sometimes make you feel rather tired and quite weird
  •  It's time for bed! Goodnight!
