Guest Speaker and Mystery Reader

On Monday we were delighted to welcome 4 guest speakers from the Deaf and Development Programme. We meet 3 ladies who are hearing impaired and teachers of Khmer sign language and Karen who was on hand to help translate. They took a lesson where they only communicated with us in sign language. The children thoroughly enjoyed the experiences and learned lots of new signs. Toilet seemed to be the one they all remembered the most! :-)

Mystery reader

A very big THANK YOU to Vattay Heng (Angel's Mum) for being very brave and coming in to read to us on Wednesday afternoon. The children thoroughly enjoyed the story and there was a lot of laughing :-)

Vattay read to us - 'You can be my friend' written by Lauren Child. As you all know we are all very big fans of Lauren Child and were delighted to get to listen to one of her books. In this story Lola is having a playdate with her new friend Morten. She has so many fun games planned but Morten is so shy that he doesn't join in any of the games or even talk! Lola doesn't know what to do and after trying everything she can think of to make him break out of his shell she gives up. It is not until they sit together to have afternoon tea that blowing bubbles in her pink milk was the way to break the ice with Morten. We all had fun helping Vattay with the sound effects to go with the story!

Grade 10 Drama

On Thursday afternoon we were very lucky to be invited to watch the Grade 10 students preform a drama that they had been working on for our students. It was brilliant!! Here is what the class had to share:
