WELCOME TO THE VIRTUAL ROOM OF RED BALLOON!

You may have noticed I am not in the English room today!
For the next few weeks I will exist in a little box on your computer screen. Until we can teleport Harry Potter style this could be the next best thing...

South Africa is such a diverse and interesting place to explore there is much to be discovered: culture, music, food, wildlife, history and politics. It is going to be an exciting time and I will no doubt learn from your technology tips too! So here we go...

BBC monkey documentary... well almost!

It has taken almost a week and I realise that documentary making is not my calling. I will stick to teaching as soon as I return to Red Balloon!

On the theme of wildlife, my cousin has just started working at a wildlife rehabilitation centre about 20 minutes from Pietermaritzburg. He has invited me (and you with the video camera!) to go to the centre to meet some of the animals they have in their care at the moment. Pretty exciting and does anyone know what a 'genet' is? I think we may get to hold one next week!

So here it is the full 'Monkey invasion video' let me know what you think!
