In the deep mid winter snow.

Got to go and pack ready to go to Bishkek tomorrow, it seems very cold and bleak despite the sun's attempt to come out, but I was very warm in my Icelandic sweater (which got caught in the laminator today, but luckily did not get damamged) my thermal leggings and underwear.   New pictures have been done by the children depicting Christmas I really like the one I hope that the internet is good enough to upload.

I had a busy day teaching extra classes, so I can go away,  but they all went smoothly, year 1 like the cut outs of stories that I have done that they can compare with what is in their books and year zero did a really good practice of their version of The Snowman.  They needed very little prompting from me. They were very excited though when I showed them the front of the book we have made together as I have stuck all their pictures on it. I am pleased to say that one little girl can remember the names of lots of the characters so that is nice. She is playing The Snowman as I know she can cope with big parts and unlike the film she will have to say something.
