My students have passed their final examinations and it is a tradition on the next night for a pub crawl around Stratford upon Avon. The locals are a bit taken aback by all these young people in fancy dress. The weather was not brilliant but everyone was in high spirits.

Back Story .................
.
OK, it's been awhile sense any school photos have been uploaded, but that doesn't mean I haven't been helping them learn. Actually I've been real busy with the abandoned jungle dogs that live with the crazy monkeys.
So here goes, 3 days a week, for a couple hours a day I help out at one of the local schools. There is 180 students and all of them are pretty good kids. Today was a test run to see how they would do with a big lens stuffed in their face, they all passed with flying colors...;-)
Tomorrow [Friday] is a big party starting at 5PM with a popular band and all parents attending. Presents will be exchanged and Christmas songs will be sung, big fun for all.
Tomorrow is going to be a real long day starting at 5AM with a run to the early morning market. Bunch of food and stuff will be purchased for the temple dogs and us.
Next, race home and start cooking all the goodies and prepare separate food bags with measured rations for each dog...Well the next move of course is to take off for the temple.
Never know exactly what to expect out there but I always have a pretty good idea what it could be.
By noon I should be back home and then it is my turn to shower, shave and eat, even catch a cat nap if possible.
Come 3 o'clock preparations will begin for the Christmas party at the school. That's Christmas party Thai Style.
Not sure when the party will end but plenty of photos will be taken and placed on CD's for all the students, parents, teachers and anybody who wants one.
Come Saturday no# 1 wife and I will be right back at the early morning market doing this all over again.
Thank you for dropping by and hope you are enjoying the holidays in your country...........;-)

I know, I know, you shouldn't have favourites but....
These kids are all about 14 years old and are in the advanced English class. We have so much fun together and they seem to really understand what is going on. I will really miss them. I seriously hope a few will come and see me in Australia in the future!
The teacher of this class, Ogata sensei, is a really cool guy — and very progressive; his students were very fortunate to have him as their teacher. Ogata sensei lived in Tennessee for a while and speaks pretty good English.
Student...This may be a bumpy landing...(crash, bang, hang on!)
Instructor...AARRHHH!

More than 800 students from across the U.S. and Puerto Rico launched nearly 50 high-powered, amateur rockets April 15, near NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, during the Agency's annual rocket competition.
For the past nine months prior, teams of middle school, high school, college, and university students were tasked to design, build, and launch a rocket and scientific payload to an altitude between 4,000 and 6,000 feet, while making a successful landing and executing a scientific or engineering payload mission.
Student Launch is one of NASA's eight Artemis Student Challenges - a series of activities providing students access to the Artemis program. Through Artemis, NASA will return humans to the Moon for long-term exploration, including landing the first woman and first person of color on the lunar surface, missions that will help pave the way for future missions to Mars.
The 2023 launch event and award ceremony are available to view on NASA's Marshall YouTube and Student Launch Facebook pages.
