We love to play together.

If you got the chance to come to our school, we would love to teach you how to play these drums. Which kind of drums do you play at McKay School?

Testimony for our relationship.

Hello everyone,
Thank you so much for this great opportunity you gave our children to share with you. It was always our dream to find such great friends around the world, with whom we could share our ideas, challenges and experiences, but here we are! when I, Bawalagga - teacher at Great Valley visited Miss Cindy's class blog, I over joyed to see how she does her work with her children. I wondered how we could adopt the same but when we got this computer, things changed!
We have registered positive attitude about learning by our children. They feel at home always and I can realize that they are even more eager to learn more. We can now try to access learning resources from internet using our computer.

The joy we have cannot be expressed by writing, but we can simply say, THANK YOU ALL.

Bawalagga Yaledi,
Teacher - GVCC.

The Young Talents of Great Valley.

 I am Nevia, I love dancing and I love studying so much. I am in primary five and i am performing so well in the class. Last term I was second in examinations behind my friend, Bernard. I hope I can work so hard to keep the good grades. I am good at dancing and it is my favorite activity.

 Here we were singing a song about AFRICA and I think we shall be able to produce it one day.

we are two good friends, Sumayiya and Mercy. We are both good at dancing. Each of us thinks is better than the other. I was the best in last years competitions but Mercy has always been the best also.

For you Mrs. Susan.

 Hello friends, it is always a pleasure to write to you. I am Vivian once again. The joy I have is over my heart. When my teacher told me that he had got me a place in a high school, I felt the world had come down to me! How happy I am, you cannot tell. I now go to St Peters High School, and it was a school of my dream.
I was given the vacancy after he told them that I am good at dancing. The principal of the school decided to come and watch me during the last music and dance competitions we had and said I could now join him. It is one month now since joined the new school but I am even happy that I am challenging the old students.

Here in we were posing for a photo after the dance. 

We were ready for a dance, Mrs. Susan came to our school and found us training, but finally we were able to win the competitions. We are dressed in dancing costumes.

The Local Xylophone and the NGALABI drum.

Do you see how enjoyable drumming is? I love the way people drum that long drum. It is called ENGALABI in the local language. Above is me Katrina and in the next picture is our trainers playing the local Xylophone.

The Different Drums we have.

We have many drums at our school, when you want to learn how to drum, I can teach you. I love dancing and being in the choir. In the choir my role is always to drum and I can dance sometimes.
Your friend ,
Sharif,

I Can Now Drum & It is Fun.

Hey friends, how are you doing at school? I think you are in your holidays. We are still busy and we could not write to you until now. We have been writing many examinations recently. i am now in primary seven and I hope to do well in all the examinations. Do you have many examinations to finish before you join the high school? 
I the picture I was trying to learn how to drum. It is a local drum made in Uganda and it controls all other drums. It produces the highest pitch. At school we have won many drums whenever we win a competition. We have just won another competition in June. I do not really dance much but I love to learn more. My friends Vivian and Sharuwa have just won bursaries because of dancing, so I think it is good that I have also started the hard work. 
What are you doing during your summer holidays. In Uganda there is no summer holidays. It is always hot or rainy. But even still, the sunshine is not too much.
