School Break Over

So I haven't had the internet for a while as the modem and some other bits had to be taken to town to be fixed so the internet was down for about two weeks - which has been quite nice to be out of reach it was actually quite liberating not to have to check emails and the urge to see what was going on in the world of the net.

It has just been spring break here where the children had two weeks off for Easter, for the first few days I helped out in the library with Grade 6 revision for there common entrance exam which took place over the break, the results are not out until June so finger crossed they pass.

I then went to Lethem for the Rodeo that takes place there, it was a nice opportunity to meet up with everyone I have met so far. The Rodeo takes place over the course of three days with many different events happening, for example on the first night there were two beauty pageants, then on Saturday and Sunday there was bull riding, lassoing and other such activities. One of our friends was competing in the beauty pageant and another friend is a vaquero and took part in all the Rodeo events and eventually winning Rodeo King!! So as you can imagine we were very happy to be there and cheering everyone on.

Lots of construction work has also taken place over the Easter break, Caimen House has a new front which is a new hammock area, the teachers quarters are really coming along, and the library is about to under go an extension which is exciting.

School started back today so back to work, today I am re - advertising my computer program to see if we can get any new comers or even to just remind the people who came before they are still on and they can come back and refresh themselves. After school I am also helping with Grade 9's projects they have to do for each subject so we will be checking what they have been doing over the break and see what improvements could be made.

During this week I am also hoping to get together with the sports teacher here to start organising swim lessons as the sports competitions are in the next couple of months and we need to start preparing.
