Kileva Eastfield’s lower grade classes join in a singing game at break time.

The singing game is commonly called “Taking a letter to my father, then it got lost along the way”. In Swaheli this is “Apeleka barua yangu Kwa babaa, ikapotelea njiani”.

School Trip to Tsavo East

Yesterday Wildlife Club members of Kileva Eastfield Primary had an education trip in Tsavo East park. We visited the vast Mdanda rock, the Voi Safari Lodge and the vast Savana grassland of the park.

We enjoyed all our time there. We took our meals at Mdanda rock and rested for about two hours as we observed animals drinking water in the dam.

We are much greatful to our neighbors Elephants and Bees for organizing that trip. (Long live Dr. Lucy king)

We came across several animals including elephants, ostriches and a variety of gazelles. The climax was when we met a nlion. I was very happy and even forgot to take a photo!
