Kylie wasn't well again this morning so it was just me again, there were more teachers at the creche again today as the children were still being tested. All the children were rapped up in their wolly hats and thick winter cardigans as it has become rather chilly, it even started to rain which really reminded me of England. In the morning I 1st got the children to fill an A4 sheet of paper with picture, this then became the cover of a maraca. They loved them, some were a bit to over excited and I had to do some repair work so they could go home with a musical maraca, rather than a tube of cardboard and some rice. Got a surprise at lunchtime when Kylie walked through the door, she was feeling a bit better and was eager to be back at the creche. In the afternoon we did English and Maths. I had a one to one with a boy who usually doesn't like to take part in educational activities which was really good, I think as he doesn't go to school he's not as confident about such things so I was really pleased he was so into doing some Maths work :) For dinner we went out to Hard Rock Cafe as a kind of leaving do, when we eventually got there we were all soaked through as the rain had persisted. It was a nice evening out with all the volunteers and Ezster and Einar even met us there which was lovely. Catching a rickshaw back was a bit tricky but we eventually found one. Only problem was that the roads had started to become flooded so it we had to maneuver around all the massive puddles - we even broke down on an empty stretch of road but thankfully the rickshaw started up again, few.
