I went into school for a while as there were a few staff in, and I had things to catch up on. It was lovely to meet Mr. Renugopal, who appeared with his niece to say hello. He is one of the Teachers at the Tea Leaf Vision Palmerston School, which I hope to be able to visit when my time in Maskeliya is over, and I return to Nuwara Eliya to work with the Central Team, and the Nanuoya and Palmerston Schools.

I got quite a lot done, including being able to have a Video Messenger call with my wife Val, but the inevitable power cut arrived around 3p.m. and it ended up lasting for around 3 hours, so I decided to go for a walk to investigate the path behind the garage leading up through the hillside to the back of the town. I had yet to explore in that direction and was very pleased that I did, as the views were wonderful.

Maskeliya is already very elevated, so you don't have to climb too high before you see quite spectacular views all around you. At the top of the hill is a large catholic church, with an equally large mosque just a bit closer into town. The vegetation all around you is amazing and it is hard to capture just how colossal the banana plants and the trees are on photographs, but I gave it my best shot, as you will see.

I have had a couple of comments on my blog now - a few on here and a few via email (kjledbury@hotmail.com), so please feel free to add a comment yourself - or indeed to ask me any questions about my adventures so far, or about Sri Lankan life in general. If I don't know the answer myself, I can almost certainly find someone who will answer any specific questions you might have.

It's my fifth trip to Sri Lanka, but on this occasion I am at last joined by my wife, Valerie, and it will be lovely not to be on my own this time. We flew out of London Heathrow Airport one hour late at 22:30 UK time on Friday, and after a rather excruciating eleven hour flight, we eventually landed at Colombo Airport just after 13:30 Sri Lankan time on Saturday. I slept for a few hours on the journey, but Valerie struggled to get any sleep at all. Sandra Wanduragala met us at Colombo Airport, and we drove into Colombo for a couple of hours - meeting up with her daughter, Selena, at the Good Market, which we really enjoyed and would love to go back to. We then went back to Selena's home, where it was good to be able to freshen up a little bit, and enjoy a nice cup of tea, before our driver, Rohan drove us to Kurunegala, where we will be based for the next two months. Arriving in Kurunegala, we met up with my good friend Tharika and her daughter, Evinka, to have dinner at Sri B...

It was my final day in the Pre-Primary Department of the Royal International School today, which was kind of sad, as they have been so welcoming, and I have had the most amazing time there. Miss Agatha and Miss Tharika run a very tight team that manages 902 children from Toddlers to Nursery to Lower Kindergarten (LKG) to Upper Kindergarten (UKG) extraordinarily well, and which provides an excellent foundation for these pupils' learning journey. I had a wonderful morning where I was observing Number lessons with the UKG Co-ordinator and the English Co-ordinator (seeing the level of English in the Number lessons). In almost all the lessons, the quality of the teaching was exceptionally high, with the attention to detail - and in particular with the resources they had prepared - quite incredible. And apart from all of that, it was great fun, which is, in my opinion what learning should be for children. I had a nerve-wracking afternoon, as I had to deliver a session on time management ...

We got cracking today with our prime reason for being here - to support the work of the Royal International School in Kurunegala. We worked together today to give Valerie a chance to settle in at the school, and we are having a gentle start at the Pre-Primary Department, where we will be spending 3 days seeing what they do so well there, before moving on this Thursday to the Junior Department, which is, of course, where our true area of expertise lies. We received a wonderful welcome from both staff and students as we arrived at the school this morning, including a group of girls performing a beautiful, traditional dance for us. It was lovely doing the few lesson observations with Valerie today, before we work separately from tomorrow onwards. The standard of teaching in the Pre-Primary Department is truly impressive, and we were pretty amazed by what we witnessed today. We are both enjoying it so much already! Sandra (who founded the school) and Ravi (the Managing Director) popped rou...
