On Tuesday we visited Katowa CCP Primary School in Mzuzu. This school is partnered with Caledonia Primary in Saltcoats. Once again there was torrential rain falling so we managed to arrange a taxi to take us to the school which is a relatively short distance from St. Peter’s. On arrival we were made most welcome. Mr Joy Kondwe, Head Teacher, was delighted to receive the photos and letters from Caledonia Primary.
Mr Thomas Mvula DHT and link person took us round the classes introducing us to staff and pupils. As we went from class to class we trod very carefully over the wet, slippy, rusty mud. Everyone was very happy to see us and to hear about Caledonia Primary and Scotland. Many of the classes at this time were studying English or mathematics using core textbooks. Class numbers are still large and the school roll is increasing. An extension is underway; 2 additional classrooms. Just now Standard One is being taught in the Church Hall; they were involved in a phonics lesson, however they found time to sing a song to us. Standard One and Two pupils sat on mats for their lessons while desks and chairs were evident (although very crowded) in other classrooms.
