Well we are guessing that our blog is WELL over due for an update and looking at our last post, so much has happened with the Global Schools Programme. Not only has Miss Plowman been and returned from her trip to Zambia where she spent 2 weeks teaching in a Zambian classroom, but we have had Ms Silenga from Mutombe school come to Ohakune Primary School for a week. The learning for our students here at Ohakune Primary School has been amazing as they, shared Miss Plowman's stories of her experience and then interacted with, and where taught by a teacher from another culture. This really opened their eyes to the fact that they are living in world where people come from many different backgrounds. We all loved Ms Silenga being here and missed her terribly when she had to leave us, but this experience will be a life changing one for every child here at Ohakune Primary School, who will remember it for the rest of their lives.
Our Fundraising is coming along quite nicely, and we now only have around $4000 to raise! A big Thank you must go out to all of our supporters who have constantly supported us in raising this large amount, and we all know that it is going to be well utilised in helping to improve teaching and learning in Mutombe School in Zambia so that children there have just as much of an oportunity to gain an education and help improve their lives as we do here in New Zealand.
