The children interviewed the visiting teachers from KKS, in Cambodia. They were really interested to learn more about their school and the surrounding villages. We made some notes and then watched some videos about their school.
From the children's questions we learnt that the school is an NGO which is in the countryside near Phnom Penh. There are currently 82 students. At the moment, the school caters for Kindergarten to Grade 4 but from next year they won't be enrolling Kindergarten students as there is not enough space and instead it will be Grade 1 -5. We also learnt that the students learn English, play soccer, have some I-pads that they can use, and have a library and a playground- just like we do. We found out that there is no school bus, that the students either walk or cycle to school and school runs from 8am to 4pm. We also heard that the school visits applicants and only accepts children from the most needy families. Our children also wondered if they had pets, what their houses were made of and who was looking after Grades 1 and 2 while their teachers were in Singapore. It has been a fantastic opportunity for us and we will keep in touch with Ms. Dany and Ms. Sreymom and hopefully make more connections with the students in Cambodia. If you are interested you can find out more about the school by searching for Green Umbrella Cambodia on youtube. Here is a link to start with. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-8jvn9qNZ4
