Home -School
I’m not sure exactly what home-school is so I looked it up on the internet. On Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeschooling) it says it is “an education that can be done at home or a variety of other places”. We do some at home, but when we go into the village of Buhoma, Daddy tells me about things there but also asks me questions, lots of questions!
One of the things we looked at was similarities and differences between Uganda and England.
For example a few of the differences are people carrying things on their head, no tarmac except in a big town, and many people have no shoes. Also the nature is more wild which I like, and people say hello a lot more.
Similarities are that there are telegraph poles, shops and supermarkets, bricks, cars, washing lines, lots of trees, wheelbarrows, hair-dressers, resteraunts.
I like home-school because Daddy can ask me what I would like to do, so I get to do a little bit of what I want to do in school.
After we had been to Kingsleys coffee farm I wrote instructions on how to make coffee. Whilst I was writing Daddy said “Do you want a break” and I said “Yes”, so we all went outside to look for chameleons sunning themselves on the top of the hedge. Daddy spotted one right at the top because of the curly-wurly tail. He pulled down the branch so that we could see it, it looked like a baby. We went back inside and I sat down to finish my work and Daddy put the chameleon down and it climbed onto my book!
For music we got out all the pots and pans and found a cooking stick and bashed the pots and pans like they were drums. I also practice my violin. At morning prayer we have lots of singing and me and Rosie join in with all of them. Nearly all of them are in Rukiga, the local language, but I can still sing them.
