A very normal week – Nev not working and me flitting between schools!
On Wednesday we went into town and scavenged some boxes for packing some stuff up to get sent home. Wednesday is recycling cardboard day and all the shops in town put out all their boxes.
One highlight this week was on Thursday afternoon I went to the movies with the College. We saw Promises – a movie/documentary all about Jerusalem and children from the different quarters. Absolutely fascinating – I really had not much knowledge about this area apart from all the fighting, the filmmaker was trying to look at children’s voices and what they thought of the peace process. It showed the prejudices passed down by parents and cultures to the children. It managed to get the different children all together and they had fun showing them also what life and town looks like in the different sections.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and there is so much debate you can have with the pupils about it.
On Friday morning we had a lovely phone call from home – Karen and Gavin, so nice to hear your voices!
We took one of the boxes we packed down to La Poste and sent it off home – 26kg and €160!! Never mind it had to be done…….have another to send but it might have to wait for another couple of weeks.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I hope this doesn’t sound presumptuous and is certainly not meant this way BUT IF anyone is planning to send any letters to us they would have to be sent in the next week. Because school finishes July 1 and then school is shut so we won’t get any mail at all as school is still shut when we leave!
