This past week, the students were reviewing diligently for their exams. Teachers spent the week assigning review lessons in various subjects such as English, Kiswahili, Social Studies and Math. The examinations, for classes 1 through 6, begin on Tuesday of this week. The students are expected to perform well in hopes of passing onto the next class.
Last week also saw a successful football practice on Friday for both boys and girls. The boys brought out their usual enthusiasm, and the girls matched the energy on the field this week. With the promise of receiving uniforms soon, the girls brought out extra determination to improve their football skills. The girls reached the expectations of their coaches Brendan and Kristina, as several rising stars stood out and show real potential. While it began to rain half way through the practice, the students refused to surrender and wanted to continue the scrimmage, making a successful P.E. class.
The usual group of girls also gathered for Girls Club on Sunday. The girls welcomed Ann, a mother of two young ladies of Girls Club. Ann taught the girls how to bake. They prepared the cake mix, following the recipe that was given. They were then shown how to bake the cake using a traditional "Jiko". The girls also welcomed two Yoga instructors from the Africa Yoga Project, Emily and Krissy. While they waited for the cakes to bake, the girls were taught Yoga, which they enjoyed very much. They were told that the skills they learn from yoga can help them with relaxing and concentration, hopefully something that they case use for their exams this week!
