I havne't really got a plan of what Im gonna be saying here...so Im just gonna splurge. Im pretty well settled in now - everything has become a bit of a routine, which is good. Today we wnet to the PTA AGM. It was incredibally boring - we didn't have anything to say and the whole meeting was conducted in Fante (the local language), so none of us understood it. It was uncomfortable and hot, but thats life; we had to be seen to be there, so we were.
We have all been picking up some Fante, some more than others. I can introduce myself, ask how someone is, and just about understand 'ho wold are you' and ' where are you from'. Shane, who is working with the youngest children, and, as a consequnce, the children with the least English has learnt a LOT - he needs it to control the classroom. Its amazing the response even a little bit of Fante gets - especially in large groups, if you can say thankyou or suchlike then they instantly love you.
I've been trying to build some science experements - a water rocket and a submarine. If anyone can thik of things that I could build from plastic bottles, cans, bits of tubing etc then I'd love to hear them!
Thats all for now folks!

I think you've been given some great sites to find experiments. I have been enjoying your blog and wanted to say hello.
