Well yesterday was quite the eventful day. We went on the very first tour/field trip as a school. The children had to pay some little money so not the whole school went, but we had a very good turn out. There were 70 students including the boarding students. So we piled them all into a bus and we were off. We got a bit of a late start so we were late getting to our first appointment.
First stop was the Entebbe International Airport. A had forgotten that there were many who had never entered the airport before. It was fun to see all their excitement. We saw planes landing and taking off.
Next we went to the Meteorologist center, which is next to the airport. They talked about the wind, sun, rain fall, clouds, and such. Things that children will be asked on the exams. This was the educational part of the tour. The worst part was that there was some wasps there and one girl got stung, but she was okay.
Now comes the fun part of going to see the animals at the wildlife center or as we call it the zoo. The kids really loved this part and also teachers as some had never see some of these animals in really life. There was camels for riding for those who sent some extra money. David also went for a ride and enjoyed himself. Time was going so fast and we had not yet eaten lunch so children were getting tired.
So we moved on to the last stop, which was the beach on Lake Victoria. Here we had lunch and just played for a short time. Abijah and Lydia came with there swimming suits and enjoyed so much the water. By the time we finished it was coming to 6:00 pm, the time that we were meant to be back at home. So the last count of kids was done and we did not loose any, so we headed home.
It was a great day and so much fun.
