Final day sees problems with blogs
Mon 31st October - 6.53pm by Caroline Riggs
Jambo,
We are having some Internet problems (we havebeen pretty luck so far really!) so a lot of the boys won't blog tonight unless they have working wireless on their phones. Today was our last day at school and it was as chaotic and emotional as expected. We gave all of the boys white t-shirts with the Victory school logo on, when they turned up to school and the kids started to realise what they were wearing it was amazing. All day I had kids pointing at my shirt and their shirt saying Victory! The boys spent the morning getting their books signed by the kids while myself and Mr Straw met with Mary and Norbet to discuss how the trip had gone. The feedback was really useful and both were enthusiastic about the impact that the kids visit had on their pupils and were keen for future guests.
We then danced around to music with most of the school in a classroom before the assembly started. At one point I looked around at our kids dancing with large groups, jumping up and down and singing along with the biggest smiles on their face. :) they then sang a song in assembly and watched the different classes perform for them too. At the end I bottled out of doing a speech because I was tearing up too much! We then gave out sweets and exercise books to every child and left after a tearful goodbye :( see you all tomorrow!

So sad the blogs have come to an end. I am sure you are all emotionally drained after today. Thank you for taking care of Mike wishing you all a safe journey home
