The Floating School
A shiny new building, floating on the lake
Arriving
Children were arriving.
The top picture is of an older classroom nearby
Taking photos

Arriving by boat
Children from the next class arrive from the nearby village
The floating classroom
moves and sways when a boat passes outside
Animated lesson
About how to measure wind speed
A little too long
The children became bored after a while.
The teacher
was from a NGO based in Phnom Penh.
His focus was not exactly in sync with the needs of the students - or with the Dept of Environment, who invited him there.
Compass work
taught with one, expensive American made compass.
Could have been done better with cheaper compasses
Other children
gather to listen from outside
Angkor students
Were not happy with the teaching, but at least it gave them confidence.
Breaktime
At last
Lice
This pretty girl watching from outside had very thick hair, full of lice.
Equipment
That was not used, because he ran out of time
The water cycle
Poster on the wall.
Should have been one of the focusses of the day.
