Reflections of the ICC School (by Heather)

Heather: On Wednesday we went around in groups to the different classrooms at the school. The kids were sooooo excited to have visitors!!

Some of the Kindy students

The students enjoyed having some guests from Australia.

We sang songs and the kids joined in the actions, played games, showed them picture books and communicated the best we could using creative gestures and facial expressions… thankfully we had an interpreter to help us!

It was so much fun seeing the smiles on the kids faces… particularly the kindy kids who were jumping out of their skin to see Ralph… he's a very loved puppet after so many hugs, cuddles and squishes :)

(donated by a Year 1 student from Palmyra Primary School).

In the afternoon the kids had to work in the garden after school… (Not a bad idea for when I get home I say!) It looks fantastic and the veggies they produce help them all to eat healthy.

When the gardening was done some of us helped the kids make cards and Mel took photo's of them with the instant camera so they could decorate around them. They had lots of fun and it was great to see their delight at getting a picture of themselves.

The boys played soccer out on the field with the kids and in the heat I think that meant crafts were definitely the better deal!
