Primary Assembly on Tuesday this week was special for a number of reasons. First of all it was held at 0930 instead of the usual 0730, and the reason for that was that there were visitors from the PTA, Mrs Hudson and Mrs Bousfield. The Assembly was led by teacher Lisa Frick who is coming toward the end of her time at Amano as replacement for Kaye Thomas who is on furlough.
The cause of all this was that the PTA had agreed to hold a 'Spellathon,' a sponsored spelling test for the Primary Students. Between twenty and sixty words were allocated, depending on the age of the children and the event was held on 6th November. Mrs Hudson spoke on behalf of the PTA to announce the great result: over 6 million Kwacha (about 850 euros, £770, US$1250) had been collected for the PTA project to construct a new playground. Mrs Hudson also announced that cakes had been prepared to celebrate the occasion, to the great delight of the students!
Our thanks go to Primary teacher Deborah Cole who serves on the PTA and undertook the organisation of the Spellathon. We are of course grateful to the Lord for the blessing - without his watching care Amano could not exist.
Our photographs show the students during the assembly, Lisa leading, Mrs Hudson announcing the results and finally the joy of some of the Primary as they view the cakes!
