Today we returned to Galilea, and spent most of our time there with P4. We began by observing their French lesson, but took over when the teacher was called away, and then continued to teach English, Maths and Citizenship as no teachers came to take over. We wondered if the other teachers were not coming because we were there. The class did well though, and luckily we had a helpful prefect, Kamal, and some textbooks to help us through, particularly citizenship, which we did not know much about. Three students including the prefect answered all of the questions though, with minimal participation from others and none from some, indicating a broad range of abilities within the class. We managed to squeeze some singing into the English lesson as well, which the students loved, brightening up the morning! On our way back to the hotel my flip-flop broke and I was left hobbling on the hot sand- good job I brought many pairs with me!
In the afternoon we headed to the bank, bumping into Ken, David and John whilst we were there, and managed to bag a lift from their to Kasoa school where we were intending to continue Tutu's ICT mini-project. However most of the children had taken the school bus home so we were unable to make any headway and had to leave it for another day.
The evening was spent watching Ghana vs England at the hotel bar, and obviously supporting Ghana. We met someone at the match who had previously lived in Newcastle- small world, but apart from that it was uneventful until the Ghanaian goal at 91 minutes, which sparked an immense reaction, making the whole game worthwhile. It seemed that the Ghanaians were pleased to have equalised, and to have scored, despite not winning outright.
