Day 2 at Pawar Public School

Miss Chater and Miss Lane got to see two fantastic dances from Standard 8 Class. A traditional Indian style dance and a bollywood style dance. One of them was dedicated to Lord Ganesha.

They also had the pleasure of meeting some of St Bart's penpals.

Miss Lane and Miss Chater enjoyed an assembly based on the children's Britain projects. It reminded them of home. They were particularly impressed with their short act from the Merchant of Venice.

They went into three different classes to interact with the children by answer their many insightful questions about Britian. Miss Lane also delivered the rest of the penpal letters. Rubin's penpal was particularly excited by his thoughful gifts.

Miss Lane and Miss Chater have been taking many risks, as Mr Beach suggested! As they both touched a live cobra that had been brought into school from a local farm. Miss Lane never thought Charlie Repp's guide book would come in so useful!

Both Miss Lane and Miss Chater enjoyed a tasty lunch for both days, this included trying out some sugar cane juice. It was very yummy.

Miss Lane and Miss Chater were grateful for the thoughtful gifts from Pawar Public School and look forward to opening them with their classes. They received some flowers on arrival which were beautifully handcrafted. They are going to try and pack them carefully to bring them home to show everyone.

In the evening the school very kindly took them to a traditional restaurant where they got to try Maharashtran cuisine.

It was lovely to sample so many new flavoursome dishes. Miss Chater particularly liked poori as it reminded her of a yorkshire pudding with an Indian twist. Miss Lane loved it all and commented on how much better it was than curries at home!
