What a full and exciting week......

I have about 15 working days left at DIA school and had a very hectic week as we are writing report cards and I am finishing off all the loose ends before I have to hand over to the new teacher. The students know that I am leaving and as mentioned before, we have a countdown to make the transition smoother for them.

I was spoiled this week as I received a lot of notes, pictures, gifts, chocolates, stickers, a signed T-shirt, photo stand, a beaded necklace, more chocolates, more notes and the list goes on and on and on........

Mohamed gave me 3 special booklets he made himself. He drew stories in it with comments. What a lovely surprise. He has talent. I feel very honoured that he gave them to me. I could tell they were his prized possessions. I will treasure them allways.

Eugenia gave me a lovely signed t-shirt. What a lovely little girl. Always very polite, a hard worker and fast learner. I really loved the messages that she wrote in my memory book.

What I really liked about this week (as we are saying our goodbyes slowly but surely) was that the children really were very creative with their computer drawings. As an artist, I love to go through their pictures and drawings every now and then, as I am inspired by the use of colour or how they use shapes and merge shapes and colours together. What I found this week, was that they were excited, creative, energetic, eager to try new things and also a bit daring. Loved it. But then I must also say I am drained of all my energy after this week!

Now it is weekend. I will go to bed early. Gideon is on his way to South Africa - he also has a very full week ahead of him. My weekend will be sorting out for the big move and dentist on Saturday.
