Just another day!

This week we had 'English Day' at school. Years 1 to 6 were treated to the delights of 'word bingo', 'boggle', 'word aerobics' spelling games and songs- including the perennial '10 green bottles'. The absolute favourite was 'Bingo'. Peter held the children in spellbound suspense at one stage with four of the groups hanging on with one last picture to go! It was a good day, with the the learning heavily disguised as a fun package. However during the breaktime there was a small fracas in the playgound resulting in a smashed window and a few minor casualites. As well as the delights of teaching English Jane had to use her nursing skills and administered first aid to two children and a staff member. All part of the rich tapestary of life here in Nazareth!

Keys

When we left the UK 4 years ago I still remember the strange feeling of not owning anything substantial. This was confirmed by not having any keys. No keys to a house, or a car; no church keys, and no keys for work or the social club.

Since living here for 2 years I have managed to accumulate a significant number of keys. The handing over ceremonies will start this week when I hand back the key to the Bible College after we finish teaching our English class. Gradually our keys will reduce and then when we eventually leave it will be back to 'no-keys' Pete. P
