We've been looking into the future. The children have been making and decorating telescopes and then drawing their future dreams. The children were fully absorbed, spending ages decorating their individual telescopes with bits of shiny paper, foamex, tissue paper and the occasional pair of wings. The kids had some fantastic aspirations; lots of teachers, footballers, nurses, doctors, policemen and women, one president who wants to play football in his spare time and a little girl who was very keen to become a butterfly.
To warm up the kids we played a game we've christened 'Les gustos' (likes and dislikes). We shouted out all sorts of words like 'ice cream', 'school', 'singing' or 'mosquitos' and then the kids had to run to the appropriate side of the room, one side labelled 'Me gusta..' (I like...) and the other 'No me gusta...' (I don't like). It appears that 100% of the children of Guayaquil are partial to a scoop of ice cream and not so keen on spiders.
