Summer Fair

As I took 2 days off for my eye surgery, I took turn from my missus to accompany Faris on his bike to school. Faris enjoys cycling and it really makes a difference as it gives him a good start to the day. For us, it also took out the headache to find a parking space when dropping and picking him up from school. In fact I read that 1 in 4 people here go to work either by bike or walking. A higher portion is true for kids going to school.

On Friday Faris’s school held their annual Y5/6 summer fair. It’s when the children in Y5 and 6 go in groups and make games and build structures to raise money for orphans in Romania. This year’s theme is the Olympics. Each game was 10-20 cents. Some pupils from the nearby German school also came down to support the event. Last year the school raised about €4000. Faris group constructed an obstacle course. He said they received lots of visitors.
