Visit to Uganda – Ivana

This July I went to Africa to volunteer for one month. I went with a group of 5 people from an organization in Madrid called Combonianos. We went to Uganda in the centre of Africa. Our main focus was teaching English classes to a girl’s school, we also visited different villages, worked in an orphanage and taught games and showed typical European dances and songs. A staggering 65% of the population in Uganda is below the age of sixteen, therefore we concentrated on helping the children. I went with the expectation of helping others, I came back knowing they had helped me and taught me so much more. I went thinking it was the poorest country in Africa, I came back knowing it was the happiest place in the world. This trip not only gave me a memory I’ll never forget, friends I’ll always have but it also broadened my perspective, I really view the world in a different way.

Year 1LT Assembly

For their assembly Year 1LT decided that they were going to go on a space journey. Five astronauts took off to visit the planets of stars, heat and cold. When they arrived at these planets they took part and watched dances. Finally they visited a scary-looking planet. They did not know what was in store until out of nowhere came two very frightening and scary monsters. They were chased all over the place until they finally made it back to their rocket and returned safely to earth. The children in the class enjoyed performing their play using the media of dance and drama.

She was a brave and powerful Celtic Queen and Sophia played her wonderfully. She marched to find the soldiers with her warriors and together they fought until eventually the Romans won, however rather than be humiliated Boudicca drank special poison and denied the Romans the chance to kill her.
