As casas coloridas junto à Lagoa de Albufeira, em Sesimbra, foram originalmente instaladas pelo Instituto de Conservação da Natureza e das Florestas na década de 1990 para apoio a mariscadores e pescadores. A fotografia, captada em 2023, regista o estado anterior à requalificação que decorreu em janeiro de 2025, transformando o conjunto no Centro de Atividades Ambientais e Desportivas. Este espaço passou a funcionar como polo de promoção de desportos náuticos e de lazer, com enfoque no ensino da canoagem e da vela, assegurando a continuidade do trabalho desenvolvido pelo Centro Municipal de Atividades Náuticas.

British experts who have been visiting Thai schools here have been struck by the positive attitude of students, the absence of discipline problems, and the strong focus on Thai culture combined with deep respect for other cultures. It's the mutual respect between adult and student that comes from the Buddhist culture. The good behaviour and respect to others is inculcated in their culture. They greeted their teachers with the big smiles and respectful bow which is the essence of the traditional wai hello. The day starts with a whole-school, outdoor listening and singing the nationa anthem and a Buddhist ceremony which appeared to set the tone for the meditative calm of the rest of the school day. In Thailand, the national anthem or phleng chat is played twice a day at 8 o’clock in the morning and again at 6 o’clock in the evening. Phleng chat literally means national song and Phleng chat thai refer to the Thai national anthem.
photo taken of a Thai school kids at the Wat Phra Si Sanphet - Historical park of Ayutthaya. The Thai students get outdoor education with connections to geography, science, maths and today history lessons on the spot!
The national song is not only played at school but also on all radio and tv stations, bus stations and other public areas. People who hear the anthem will automatically stop what they are doing to stand and salute the flag. Even commuters rushing around on the skytrain will pause to show respect while the national anthem is played. The respect for staff is highlighted on teachers' day, when every student brings in elaborate flower arrangements for their teachers. As the school's head said: "We want them to love their own culture."In some Thai schools they have their own Thai culture centre. This may be a single room but sometimes it is a suite of rooms plus a magnificent museum, open to the public. Students learn about Thai poetry, song, history, food, flowers and, of course, about Buddhism. But this does not just involve formal lesson times. They follow regular cultural activities like above in the historical park of Ayutthaya.

I'm lucky to spend every Wednesday outside with some of our charming students and good colleagues. And my dog got to join us too ツ
Today we walked through a forest with tall trees and huge anthills, visited bird hides by a lake and by this river, and had a nice lunch break. We made hollowed potatoes with eggs and bacon chunks inside on the fire.

Photos from K4's depature and first two days paddling and camping along the Atlantic side of Cape Eleuthera. After a day spent dodging rainstorms K4 spent their first night camped "Deal's Point". After a late evening rainstorm, distant lighting and shooting stars helped make up for a fairly wet day! On the second day K4 kayaked to Plum Creek and set up camp, from their they will paddle along the rest of Eleuthera's southern tip until they make it to Lighthouse Beach - where the students will conclude the trip with a 48 hour solo.
