Our first day of work....

Tonight's blog entry comes from Nick and James.
Mrs Speed told us not to write, "This picture shows," , so instead - "This picture tells the reader" that we did some work! And it was hard! We used "wongs" or "woks" (Or as James likes to say 'bowls' because that is effectively what they are) to carry materials up and down the building, this took roughly four hours.
We carried the materials up and down via a chain of labour, more commonly known as the students of Rookwood!

A picture has been captured of the alpha of the group, the Speed! Not much is known about this being, but it is said to be in charge of the group and have a high understanding of the spoken language - English! She is seen helping her fellow workers.
Ellie here is wearing a grey shirt and orange gloves whilst being commanded by the Speed! Her commands are still unknown to science.

The now 16 year old Nick, seems to be at the head of the project, although much is still unknown about his day to day activities.
Looking dazed and bewildered is Freddie, what would seem to be the simpleton of the group is actually one of the few with any indication of intelligence, here you can see him carrying what could be part of his shelter, but is more likely to be part of a desk.
Joe here with his back to the camera...... But in all seriousness he is showing great tolerance and commitment to his work and fellow apes.

We have just been commanded by the Speed (2100hrs) that we have to say more about what we actually did. Which, well.... The pictures show but here it goes.
Here we have some of the lighter materials - notably plastic chairs - being carried down the chain, a nice relief to the heavier rubble.
Hand eye coordination is an integral part of multiple story chains

I believe this is Mr. Paus - This is a perfect example of our now enhanced hand eye coordination

Here we have a Nick, much enjoying our tea break, we were offered ginger tea by the ladies who work at the centre. It was delicious.

Having an in-depth conversation of how The English language has a role in Sri Lanka during our tea break - more like a hot and bothered conversation about general stuff - great, and very sweet, tea!

An update on Ethan's antics today.........
Ethan might have had a little accident with the ginger tea
He also had another accident when dropping his bottle three storeys down
And! He found his glasses much to his surprise in his bag!

The confusion on Freddie's face says what we were all feeling.

If you hadn't guessed already, yeah, we're shifting sand..........

Hard at work here, "don't pass that to me it's dirty"

Morale is high in the work place as seen by the smiles on Katie's and Chelsea's faces. But they won't be paid!

Mrs Clarke here calculating the best angle in which to pass the "Wong", a difficult task for the most intelligent amongst us.

The source of the material from which the building flourished.

Keep the comments coming as we very muched enjoyed reading them tonight.
Nick here, Thanks for commenting on my birthday, it was fun, we moved to our new location that day and got a huge cake from the teachers, it was delicious so thank you to them for the cake. Give my love to Matt and Maria and I miss you guys and hope to see you soon.
And thank you to Jo Hodgkins for my birthday wishes, Yas would like me to tell you that she misses you guys and looks forward to seeing you all soon. She did try some curry but does not intend in having anymore any time soon.
Right, James here now, now Nick's finished his essay - Hiya Mum, hiya Dad, still alive, enough food, err nice weather - no skewered cat or deep fried monkey, but I'm keeping hopes up. Have a nice time, great time out here! "Having a hoot!" There isn't much else to say here. Nevertheless, don't worry, many stories to tell you - Best wishes to you and the family - see you soon =]
Now especially to Mrs Cumpsty, would you say our writing is sufficient and adequate to your liking? As we have used vivid and expressive language? The marking isn't over yet, one last bit to do!
