Amali's visit to Shining Stars

Today I visited 'shining stars' nursery which was built over the summer by the Edinburgh Global Partnerships team. After seeing all the work that was put into fundraising for this project it was brilliant to see the building in use. The ceiling was decked with rainbow fishies and masks. When I arrived the children were sitting round tables writing up animal words in tamil. The Gruffalo made another timely appearance which led to an array of animal related games. The best were drama games where the children acted out the animals that the gruffalo meets on his journey through the 'deep dark wood'. This evening we visited the school where the Calthorpe Park students have spent the past few days and were entertained with dancing, singing and drama. I'm looking forward to the teacher training tomorrow and seeing all the teachers again
