Oscar gets a reading lesson!
Dear famalam (family for the oldies who don't understand :P) and other fellow readers!

Sorry we didn't blog yesterday, as the internet was down in Siyabuswa.

MONDAY: The girlies got up at 6am again, whereas some of the boys get to lie in until 6:30! TOTES UNFAIR!! In breakfast, Tom threw up because he was feeling poorly, but he's better now, don't worry tom's mumma. We then went to Grace Junior, and Izzy, Tilly and Will took a maths lesson where we were jumping up and down outside, whilst saying times-tables as it was sosososooo cold. Nia and Bethan made paper chains, and the other boys painted masks and did sponge painting! Then it was break time and we were attacked by some cheeky little monkeys (not genuine monkeys but little year 2s and 3s!) with sugar spray, and then we did the congo with pretty much every single Grace Junior pupil. They also taught us a song about veggies which is TOTES AMAZE it goes like this: Carrots peas and broccoli vegetables are good for me. In my snack and in my lunch veggie sticks are good to munch, carrots peas and broccoli, vegetables are good for me.

Tom is taught some Ndebele?
*sung in the tune to twinkle twinkle* We then went to the main Grace School, and then we had lunch! Then we went to grade 5 and did crochet and beading. Bethan was the only person who can crochet- the rest of us are pretty shocking. Then we did the after school club of making finger puppets, but Izzy and Tilly had a siesta part way through! Izzy went to sleep next to Tilly but she woke up under the table! Creepy right?!?! We then went back, the girls gave Evelyn an AMAZEBALLS manicure and we played cards and went to sleep! Also all the girlies at the Grace School are still MADLY in love with the boys watch out mummies!

Lots of love, the Grace Team (but mainly Izzy and Tilly coz we are so swag) xxxxxx

Dear All

Even the girls leave out so much when summing up a day! Though they are writing much more for you to read in their journals. Most are almost up to date but one young man has only reached last Thursday...

Tom was much better by evening and is fine now. Everyone else is well, though the

Amazing Grace
One of my favourite songs - so beautiful. I bet they loved it. Should have taught it to you in Welsh before you went Bethan xxx
