The children are very cute, but don’t let those smiles fool you - some of them can be terrors too…

Second Grade, Antonio de Alcedo
This class probably gave me more headaches than any other, but by the end of my placement they'd become my favourites.

With Samia Veronica...
student from 3/4 grade class. She gave me a note on my first day saying she didn't mind if I was strict because she really wanted to learn English.

Waterfights, San Luis de Guachala
On the last day of school before "carnaval", the children were allowed to have water fights in the school playground. (Preparation for a weekend of throwing water balloons at strangers in the street - Ecuador's custom in the days running up to the start of Lent)

Headteacher, San Luis de Guachala
Even the head joined in
