The 1st September is the Day of Knowledge in Kazakhstan a holiday where pupils celebrate coming back to school. We were invited to turn up to the school at 10.00 to welcome the students and all the parents and staff and pupils were there.
The new year 7s came down the double staircase waving at the crowds... and the crowds clapped them.
Then was played the Kazakh National Anthem, and everyone joined in placing their right hands on their hearts.
There was also a recital of poetry and students dancing national dances.
All the people watching are parents and staff.
This singer was very good.... a very pop style....a bit like the X-Factor.
Finally, here I am with my Department..... the most extraordinary collection of subjects.
It is called the Geography Department, but includes Chemistry, Biology, Self Awareness and Esteem, and Economics...... (I am the only Economics teacher)
I am going to sign off for now......
