Reflections of each day while at the school

Day 1

Today we went to our school that needed check up on what we needed to have for the next day so we are prepared for work. i will be painting the insides of the school with two other people. Hopefully we would finish at least 3-4 walls on the first day and be able to help the others with their task's. I want to finish our school in the first two days.

Day 2

today we came to the school and played games first with the children in the first twenty minutes and later we went to onto painting the inside of the school walls and pillars. the color of paint we use to paint on the walls were light blue and yellow. i spent about hours painting about one hour digging to unbury the swing. While painting however it made me realise this could be the work i may have to do in my own house one day and so this experience has given me a small preview to my future skills ill have to deal with in the future.

Day 3

Today we finished the tree houses and also we were able to finish painting all the walls. We also sand papered the wooden swing set seats and made the children a brand new tire swing. We performed songs for then and they did the same in return. Later on we got our thank you's and appreciations from the staff and we gave the children a new school bag and toy for a girl or a boy.
