Hello Bloggers, Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello guests, how are you?
It's been quite awhile since we last contacted you, but otherwise everything has been good. In December 2015 we closed for our Christmas holiday, we all had a good time. Its great to be back after a relaxing break. We officially begun our Second term and it's Good to have all the students back. Have a nice time and we hope to blog soon. Happy New Year.

Progressive Development!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since you last heard from us, we've had developmental changes.

Added to the WISE Africa has been a library and we got a team of people helping from the UK.
Our library currently holds 2440 books. It took us a lot of time to sort out the Library, we had to file the books into a spreadsheet and with the help of the U.K team (Arron, Jyoti and Charli) we got the job done quickly. The process of preparing the library was, lifting the books from the car which our boys did very well, Sorting them into groups - which the girls did very well, filing the books in Spreadsheets which was done by everyone, it was a joint effort.

  After registering the books the Primary students came and they started to enjoy the Library every day.   Both the primary school, us in WISEA and the staff at Wellspring have enjoyed reading many different books. 

After working on the library we also did some work with the team from Uk in the primary. We had a very enjoyable time. They taught us british dancing and helped us develop our team work skills.

Learning the british dance session.

Helping with the primary school

We also helped prepare the primary students for a debate the motion being
"should Mabira forest be cleared for industrial development?"  Surprisingly the proposition side won. Throughout this debate both us and the Primary Students gained more debating skills.

During the debate preparations the students where getting some ideas from the International school students and the visitors from U.K about their side they were going to present. We really enjoyed putting ten heads together to come up with strong and excellent ideas. 



Salute tout le monde (Hi everyone)

This week has been very hot and exciting for all WISEA students.

We had a new student Richard who joined us on Tuesday in Yr10. So far he enjoys our school very much, ‘…it’s nice and interesting…’ he says and has made some new friends.

Yesterday(Wednesday) we made delicious hot lovely scones. One of our teachers taught us how to make the delicious English treat. We worked in teams to make 35 scones, which we will be taking home with us.

The plants are growing really well and because we had so many plants (tomatoes), we had to uproot some in order to leave space for the better one to yield a good harvest. All in all, all the other seedling are growing well and we are looking forward to a good harvest. After a long hot hard day of work and gardening, we enjoyed some of the sugarcanes from our garden.

Apart from all these other activities, we have also enjoyed a variety of lesson.
Deborah has enjoyed learning about Hitler’s leadership this week. She was surprised by how long Hitler planned to rule before he got into power. Tabby and Precious enjoyed reading and watching Animal Farm for their English. Richard has also been reading it and so far he has enjoyed it. Morgan has enjoyed hanging out with Richard our new student this week and Jemimah enjoyed the making of the scones.

Another great week here at WISE Africa.

Happy New Year!

Happy New year!

It’s feels good to be back after the Christmas holidays. We all feel refreshed and energised ready to begin a new term.  We have had to adjust back into the swing of school life, working hard in our subjects has allowed us to learn new fresh topics. We have also been excited to  see the growing of our crops especially during the holidays they where left unattended to and it was very hot. We now have tomatoes, watermelons and a local plant called ‘dodo’.

We have also enjoyed an afternoon of art  this week. Whilst developing our creative skills we had to think about what we are looking forward to in 2015. At the beginning of this term everybody was asked to write his/her own prayer request and plans for this year. It has been a good beginning of the term and the year.

Thank you very much for the love and support.Good bye friends for the love and support see you next time.

What's Up?

Hola Blog people!
Quite a few interesting things have happened these last two weeks. For instance we had a shared open day with the Primary School. What is an Open Day you may ask? It's just a day where parents and friends come to the school for an afternoon of celebration and information of the schools. WISE Africa was part of the program. We showed many parents different and exciting Science experiments, we also presented in front of all the parents a presentation informing them about WISE Africa. This was a little scary but worth it because some parents have decided to bring their children over to this school. Apart from that throughout the week we enjoyed some discussions about politics, history and society, mostly Ugandan.

The Student body of WISE Africa have been teaching some of the students in the Primary section how to bake. We did with them a coffee cake and flapjacks. It was a girls against boys compitition and the girls won(naturally)!


We were very excited to see Miss Holly from the UK again. She brought with her a pack of loom bands. Tabby, a student of WISE Africa has been teaching the rest of us how to make a loom band. We got creative and made a variety of loom bands in the end.


All in all a wonderful two weeks

with Miss Cerys and team! #lookingforwardtoholidays!!!!

Welcome (Willkommen) back from Half term

After a lovely relaxation week during half term, the WISE Africa students are back in action!!!!!!!!!!!Along side our studies, we have enjoyed extra-curricular activities, like baking a marble cake, it was an awesome experiment also next time we need to increase our measurements of different ingredients. It was so tasty I wish you were there to help us eat it.

We are also learning how to grow crops, and for that we thought we need to be more practical. We have been assigned a small piece of land to grow two crops of our choices. We have to research about these different crops and attend to our land. We had to make speeches to convince the judges to give us the crops of our choices.

But first, we had to clear the land.

Setting up the speeches  for getting the land.

Catch you soon.
