On Tuesday we went to visit Ventanilla school all together as a family - now we have our car (a ford 7-seater van) we can get to Ventanilla in just over an hour from our house (it took 2 1/2 hours before!)
It is the second week of school and we went to see how they are all getting on. So far there are around 10 children enrolled (more than this time last year - schools are slow getting started at the beginning of the school year in Peru!). I (Anna) taught the kids an English lesson - teaching them 'Head Shoulders Knees and Toes' (Daniel helped with the actions) and '1-2-3-4-5, Once I caught a fish alive' because the teacher wanted me to use a song to teach the numbers 1 to 10 and it was the only song I could think of in the moment!

Daniel and I leading them in 'Head, shoulders, knees and toes'! 
End of school and the kids stay around to play.
One of the children was very caring with Daniel and Joel.
Currently there are hundreds and hundreds of flies in the classrooms because, rumour has it, one of the neighbours does not dispose of her rubbish properly. They are hoping to fumigate and put up fly screens next week.
