Well here we are on the eve of our visit to Donkorkrom, Afram Plains, Ghana! Hamilton Grammar Staff are off to visit our colleagues in Africa!
All the medications have been taken or packed... mosquito net purchased and DEET also (industrial strength).
Now all to do is to get ourselves to Accra and then meet up with our companions who will take us up north into the Volta region.
I aim to upload some videos and put them on YouTube and TeacherTube while we are out there, and also to create some podcasts by the local students.
Perhaps next year I can create my own African Adventure entry for our S1 competition for Ghana!
We will also get to visit the Mango plantation which many people have sponsored. And we may even get to see the Tractor which is being bought with the money raised by Mr Dyer, the Eco Group, and the school.
I will be thinking a lot about what we can do to embed this experience into our curriculum, particularly for Technologies and Social Subjects relating to Business and Computing.
If I have the opportunity I will post blog updates from Ghana also... not that anyone will be reading as you will all be off on your holidays to Cyprus, Magaluf, Mexico, Penang or somewhere exotic.
