Wednesday January 14th 2004. I am going to visit the school today. There are a lot more people going this time, and instead of a minibus, we have a big coach. We arrived at the school around lunchtime and were met at the entrance by Jai, the teacher I had met at the Children`s Day Festival, and some of the children. We were led by the children through the school gates to a wide open space surrounded on 3 sides by low buildings. We entered a large hall that had tables and chairs and a big stage, here we ate our packed lunches. After lunch we were entertained by the school`s orchestra, who were very good. As you can see from the photograph, many of the musical instruments are different from those you may have in your school. Then the school choir sang some songs for us - in English - and we were all encouraged to join in with songs like "Old McDonald`s Farm". We then went on a tour of the school.   Doikum School Thailand | Children`s Day | The Visit | The School
