‎"telling someone what they have to learn is a long and tortuous road, often ineffective; giving someone the opportunity to explore what their brain finds particularly interesting at the time opens the gateway to optimization of that individuals potential" anon
 

Our top student, tai, was busy at his homework as usual last night, using one of our old collection boxes as a makeshift fish tank for his latest school project. This meant filling the coin slot and also using silicone to fix a leak at one of the corners.

We had paid a visit to the fish shop on the way back from school to by 2 different sort of gravel.

This morning he was busy arranging the 2 tone gravel, and adding plant decoration and of course a few of our guppies.

I’m not sure what the project was and today Tai, May 2 and bong all went off to The Royal Flora for the day, with the school. Gu’s class had gone on their trip last week and today was a test day.

Unfortunately we had not got a spare camera available today so no photos of the royal flora I’m afraid.

On picking the kids up I inquired after the fish and Tai told me that his teacher had not “marked” the homework yet. Concerned for the fishes welfare over the weekend, I insisted that he brought them home and took them back Monday if needed.

Hello my name is Tai. 

I’am twelve years old. I come from Nan. I have been at Stratton House since december 2009.

 

 

Another Sunday, another fun day out. The childrens choice was Huay Tung Taow.

 This time we took two of the bicycles with us to extend the range of the days activities.
As usual the kids had lots of fun playing in the water.

Water snail collecting seemed to be the popular past-time for the day.
In between times the bicycles were put to good use as was the nearby play area with swings, climbing frame, etc.
With so much to do the children were very undemanding giving myself and Boon time to relax and enjoy the atmosphere too.

gravelgoneTwo weeks on Sunday should see the proper work of The Stratton ABC Foundation and Stratton House Childrens Home begin. So now we’re making a real push to get those bigger jobs finished.

I’m still shifting gravel every morning but another week should see that finished.

Heathers fence looks better everyday.

And today we have a guy coming to construct a child proof cover for the water well.
