Primary School. Earlier we discussed the possibility of an exchange between Roxwell and Lyamungo Sinde Primary School here in Tanzania. We discussed the possibility of establishing a communication pathway between the children of each school. We also discussed the possibility of a fund-raising event that could be held at Roxwell to raise funds for a project in Lyamungo Sinde, such as renewal of the school toilets or for populating the library.<\/p>\n<p>In our recent discussion we talked of themes for our exchange programme. I had earlier brought pictures drawn by the pupils in Tanzania, talking of them and displaying them in a school assembly. I also taught some Swahili during that assembly! The pictures from the pupils of Lyamungo Sinde were of the big five African animals &#8211; lions, giraffes, buffalo, rhino and hippos (although the drawings included only three). We thought that an appropriate theme would entail subjects relating to the children&#8217;s lives, such as family, pets, hobbies, etc. The children could exchange letters (no doubt in English &#8211; it will be easier to teach English in Lyamungo Sinde as the pupils already have a grounding than to teach written Swahili in Roxwell!) In this way we would set up an exchange between the pupils of both schools.<\/p>\n<p>Meantime, I picked up some drawings and paintings from the children at Roxwell Primary to show the children of Lyamungo Sinde. So now I have my work cut out for me here. I will reunite with the head teacher at Lyamungo Sinde, perhaps even lead an assembly there (in English, as my Swahili is not up to standard!) I intend to teach the children how to write a letter (and may have to do the same in Roxwell as many children will have gone digital, I&#8217;m sure) and using paint pallets supplied by Roxwell School, also teach some painting techniques. I will also be spending time setting up a digital communication link between the head teachers and even some pupils, if possible. Lots to think about and to be getting on with.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_241\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.abcdreams.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Forest.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-241\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-241\" title=\"Forest\" alt=\"Forest\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.abcdreams.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Forest-300x208.jpg?resize=300%2C208\" width=\"300\" height=\"208\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-241\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Forest relief sculpture painting<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_238\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.abcdreams.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Dog.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-238\" data-attachment-id=\"238\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.abcdreams.org.uk\/2013\/07\/week-twelve-back-in-tanzania\/dog\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.abcdreams.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Dog.jpg?fit=1946%2C1387&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1946,1387\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;9.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D50&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1374222126&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;34&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0028571428571429&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Dog\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Dog pointillist painting&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.abcdreams.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Dog.jpg?fit=300%2C214&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.abcdreams.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Dog.jpg?fit=730%2C520&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-238  \" alt=\"Dog\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.abcdreams.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Dog-300x213.jpg?resize=300%2C213\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-238\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dog pointillist painting<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just before leaving for my return to Tanzania I met again briefly with the head of Roxwell C. of E.
