Back to School Again

Well I'm back to work, this time in a different sort of school. Two buildings: a lunch hall and a class building. 5 class rooms, one for each class and a small hut where dinner is cooked.
They don't have a timetable as such. I just kind of have to guess where to fill in when there aren't any teachers which makes it quite hard to prepare lessons.
Today I was paraded around the village by the nursery kids, presented with a pink juice flask which was hung round my neck as a sort of medallion and handed gifts such as sticks, stones and a cocktail stirrer.
In the morning the older kids, as a token of their thanks for my efforts, offered me a worm, which I turned down, so instead they put it on a drum and saw how high it bounced when they hit the drum.
