A fond farewell

|

Today was our last day at Jaipuria School and we saw lots of lessons and activities; firstly we saw a storytelling session then went on to see an inter-house quiz and we were impressed with the general knowledge of all the children who took part.  After that, we shared some lesson plans with the English and French teachers before moving on to a  lesson on Indian dance.

Next it was social studies in which the class were learning about longitude and latitude and then a grammar lesson all about using adverbs.

Rain is forecast over the next few days so we shall be thinking of our friends at Jaipuria and hoping that  it doesn’t rain on Sports Day on Friday  and Saturday.

We shall by flying back to England tomorrow and leaving India behind us but we shall always treasure our memories of this special week.  Just as you are all learning every day at school we have also learnt so much from our visit and look forward to sharing it with you.

Today

|

Taj Mahal was truly incredible . It took 22 years to build with 22 domes celebrating each year . This was built at the same time as the great fire of London where much timber was still used. The sheer scale of it is enormous and symmetry has been used throughout. Hello from Mr McEntee and Mrs Olyett to all at Chater! And hello to children at Victoria school who are following our blog and doing a topic on India. The drive home was fun with crazy traffic and everyone beeping horns and driving very close to each other. We did spot one very brave learner driver!!
