It was an interesting day today, as we started off this morning with a meeting with Sandra, Ravi, and Buddhika, which clarified some clear goals and targets for us over the next 2 months. We will basically be focusing in on developing all aspects of Maths with Grades 1 and 2, which we are both extremely happy about. This includes supporting the teachers in their use of English as they teach Maths lessons, which I think we will both enjoy very much.

We moved into our new office in the Junior Department today, which is a lot more comfortable, as it has air conditioning rather than a fan (the fans seem to have triggered Valerie's eczema). It is kind of weird being back in a Headteacher's type office, but obviously something I am familiar with - albeit that I am now in my 10th year of retirement. Retirement - what retirement? I seem to have developed a liking for throwing myself back in at the deep end again.

Sandra came round after school for a cup of tea and a chat, which was lovely. We thought about going swimming after that, but it was pouring with rain again, so we will have to wait for some brighter weather in the evenings, which is due apparently. It meant that we had a very relaxing late afternoon and early evening. Our life here is certainly very comfortable and very enjoyable, and we are enjoying working together on the same project for once.

We only have one more working day this week, as on Thursday there is a Poya Day. How lovely to be living in a society where they give you a day off every month because there is a full moon - with two days off for Vesak in May, which is the most special Poya Day of the year! Sandra is very kindly taking us away for 2 nights on Thursday's Poya Day, so we have Friday off too this week, as we are not returning to Kurunegala until Saturday afternoon.

Today's photos show our new office in the Junior Department, a random plant photo (I do love these huge plants), and views of the Senior School building and the new building that is being built to house students in the Junior Department.

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

My younger granddaughter Esther is 5 years old today, so I messaged her 10-year-old sister Isabella to ask her to wish her a 'Happy Birthday' from me. It was much less of a crazy day today, with a morning filled with lesson observations - this time observing English lessons in the Upper KinderGarten (UKG) classes, which is the equivalent year to Reception, so I could imagine Esther being at school with the children I was with all morning today. It was really useful today to watch the teaching of English to the 5-year-olds, whose level of understanding is already very impressive. As with the Tea Leaf Centres, it is a fully immersive system, so everything is conducted in English, and it is impressive how much English these 5-year-olds already know, in the same way that the progress Tea Leaf students make through the one-year full-time English Diploma is also extremely impressive. If you have been reading my blog, you may remember that Erica, who I had a wonderful weekend with in

I would say that this was easily my most enjoyable day so far, but it got rather spoiled this evening when I handled an extremely frustrating situation very badly. Let's focus on the good part of the day, because it really was a pleasure to work with Miggy and Stephanie all day, as we went in search of accommodation for Stephanie from next Tuesday 9th January, that we could also recommend to future volunteers who are working with Tea Leaf Trust in the Nuwara Eliya area. We visited 10 different Guest Houses between 10:00 and 16:00, with a brief stop for a delicious buffet lunch (that only cost 500LKR - a round   £1.25 -  per head) in b etween. We found some very suitable accommodation to suit a range of budgets in a variety of locations, but there was one place that was exceptional, where we returned at the end of the day to make a booking for Stephanie, who will go there at the same time as Isabelle, a new volunteer, next Tuesday. Our ideal accommodation (and I would happily stay t
