Good News

I am thrilled to announce that the trip is 'on again' for me, thanks to the support from my Head Teacher and my Team in Support for Learning. No firm date has been made yet as LECT are waiting for the English contingent (i.e. all the others) to return to school so that they can obtain permission to be out of school and provide available dates. Hopefully this will happen soon and then I will be able to plan for my absence from school.

I will have to study the new arrangements for hand luggage and weight, and try to fit some of the presents that I had intended carrying in hand luggage because of weight issues, into my suitcase. This will probably mean travelling with a limited wardrobe and toiletries, but I'm sure I will cope.

The delay has several advantages. Firstly, it allows more time to refine the pupil videos that will be taken to Cape Town. One or two of the pupils were absent at the end of the session and so we were unable to include them initially. We now have our own video camera in SfL and so with the help of Mrs. Hughson and Mrs. Douglas (and possibly Dr. Strain again) we should be able to achieve even better and fuller results. Secondly, the S3 and S4 pupils involved will be able to access the weblog from school, providing I find adequate technology to access the log and upload photographs over there.

I will write a further log once I have dates.
