Easter Part 1

The week after Empire Night was as normal a teaching week as could be. There is a great flurry of activity as we come to the end of term and Parent's Week. This was the last week of "clubs" and the excitement level was very high, to say the least.
Due to Good Friday classes were cancelled and a special Good Friday service was held for the whole school. Mr. Ralph Buckingham was the speaker and spoke about the cost of repairs. In India, if something is broken it is repaired, not thrown out. There is a cost for the repair. He linked this to the cost  which Jesus paid to redeem us.
Following the assembly, there was the Dress Rehearsal for the Variety Show during Parent's Week. This took the better part of the day. In the evening the Standard 10 boys watched the video of Flywheel in the chapel. Mrs. Weber prepared a Dutch type of home-made donut as snack. The donuts were delicious!!!
On Saturday morning it was off to the Ooty market for my weekly kilo of oranges at 60 rupees per kilo.
After a lazy day the entire Standard 10's met in the Sports Hall for an evening of impromptu drama. Wendy Ballis, the former Head of Music was there much to the delight of the students. One of the activities was to improvise as many uses for an object as possible. For example, a toilet seat became a picture frame, an over the shoulder bag, a necklace, a life buoy, and a collar. A different activity was to devise a way to knock paper cups off the stage using only a balloon. The evening was capped off with some great snacks served outside the Cypress Court  dorm.
Thus ended the second to last week of term!
