On Sunday 15 February I set out for Kadoma, Zimbabwe to represent our school in the Afritwin programme.
On the first day of school, we observed lessons and spoke to the children about our respective schools. Joining me were two teachers from our UK twin school.
On the second day, we visited a game park and saw many wild animals. The highlight for me was feeding a baby giraffe!
The third and fourth days were spent on art projects. The UK teachers went all out with their 3D models of Big Ben and the queen.
I did a puzzle of Table Mountain where each child decorated a piece of the picture.
We felt so welcomed by the school, especially when teachers and parents put together a dinner. We tried many traditional foods and spoke a little bit about our schools.
I taught a few lessons, including poetry to the grade sixes. We also discussed how we would work out the penpals for the older grades.
All in all, the trip was an amazing experience where we all shared many ideas. I learnt a lot during the workshops and observations. Thanks to all for making this possible!
