Home School Week -- By Meg

Outside of Nampula there is an International School. This past week homeschoolers from the area were invited to come to the school for a week of fun activities. I had a blast! 

The Harrell kids joined us too! 

We were very nervous on Monday! 
But, when we got to know some of the other kids we weren't so shy!!

Morning chapel.

We got to do some fun activities while there!

 On Monday I went absailing. 
Then on Tuesday Emma went. 
And on Wednesday Lilly went. 

This is the rock that we went down.
We were the South team and we had to practice as a team to get the fastest time through the obstacle course!

We had art, math, music, and much more Monday through Thursday. 
Then on Friday it was sports day! 
The parents came and got to see our teams and some of the 
fun things that we got to do!
First we showed the parents the song that we learned. 
After singing we got in our teams.
North, South, East, and West
Getting organized
Everyone was screaming! It was very loud!! 

Then we started the games!!!
We had a lot of games. 
One of the first things that we did was the 100 meter dash.





Then the 3 legged race!

This is me and my new friend Avery.

Then the Jump Rope race.





Lilly and Kate were very tired so they sat out a couple of games.
So was Emma!
We had the Long Jump after a couple more races.



Then we had the obstacle corse! 


At one point I was holding a girl with with my left arm and my right arm was on the rope above us, 
and another girl was grabbing my waist! I was about to fall off!!
Then finally tug-of-war!!
We beat every team!! 







Yah! We won!!
We had a great week getting to be with other kids! 


The North team came in first.
West came in 2nd.
South came in 3rd.
And East came in 4th place.
During the week we got to paint a wall at the end of the school.
 The older kids got to pick a word that describes the school and paint it on the wall. 
The rest of the kids got to paint different things! 



Lilly got to paint where she is pointing. 
I did the word FUN! 


We had a wonderful week!!!

Hugs,
Meg
