Coffee Farm Tour and Sports Fest with Form 2

This week our Form 2 students had some free time. They had tests on Monday and Friday...but nothing in between. So, we had some fun. On Tuesday I took them to a coffee farm near Arusha named Kimmemo. We learned about the production process for my favorite drink in the whole wide world. Now, were my intentions to turn them all into coffee lovers? Not exactly. But, I did get to share a nice cup with the students at the conclusion of the tour. I think they enjoyed the tour.

On Wednesday Lisa planned a sports/games tournament with the Form 2 students. They played board games, netball, basketball and volleyball. They kept track of their points for wins in each of those areas and top teams received a prize.

They "got in to" the tour and the sports, but not like they normally do. It's funny how focused they get. These tests have been on their minds for years - literally.

Finally Finished with Tests

I am so pleased to announce we are finally finished with the Form 3 Mock Examination and the Form 2 National Exam! I can't tell you what a relief that
