Uhuru Primary School: More News!

Habari! Everything is going very well here at school and the children are enjoying their school days. There have been many changes happening from redecorating, staff and class restructuring. We have redecorated our classrooms and they are looking more and more wonderful! I really love my classroom the more it becomes filled with educational posters and students art work!

We have had some staffing changes. Madame Lindsay is no longer with us. Madame Lindsay was looking for employment, hopefully in Zanzibar that started in December or January. During the very early days of her search a school in Zanzibar that starts in October offered her a job. An opportunity like this on Zanzibar is hard to find so she decided to take it. It was not a easy decision for her to make and took many days and a trip to Zanzibard but in the end she made the best decision for herself. It was sad to see her go last Friday, but we had a fun filled last day. We had a field day in the morning followed by arts and crafts. At the end of the day we enjoyed some improvised ice cream sandwiches of ice cream, biscuits and banana, where the students presented her with surprise goodbye cards! We certainly miss her but wish her all the best.

With this means we are back to only two teachers and have had to restructure our schedule and classrooms! We now have the two cheke cheyas(kindergartens) together being taught by Sir Godfrey, which seems to be going very well. While I am still teaching the Standard One students, although at times we help each other out and swap classes.

Here are a bunch of pictures of the school and activities, Enjoy!
