Jambo! And so another half term comes to an end at the Kanzi Academy. All of the children have finished their final exams and have done well as expected. This has left a number of school jobs and fun to be had!
We enjoyed a bush walk earlier this week, which saw us walk some distance to where we capture all of our rainwater here at
Campi ya Kanzi. It was very interesting for the children to see where the water collection begins, and then follow the path down to the "bladders" which store all of the water. Practically identifying with where our water comes from and reliance on the rain, as well as understand how and where it is stored, is vitally important. We cannot simply leave raps running here at school or Camp - every drop of water is precious.

We also made traditional "shakers". It is a wonderful, cultural experience for the children to know how to utilize what is around them in order to make something worthwhile and fun. As ever, during life at KA, it is not just about the "end result", but the process we go through when doing things. Both the bush walk and shaker-making prompted the use of new skills, new vocabulary, and heightened awareness. We worked as a team and looking out for, and after each other - very valuable life-skills I'm sure you'd agree!

So, as the end of the week is upon us, the children head home and so do we, the staff team. We return to school in three weeks to begin the third and final term of this school year! Time sure does fly! Karibu tena!
