Landed safely! After a 3am start, spirits are really high and I think everyone is looking forward to a riceless meal and their own bed when we all get home! Be back soon #landedsafely #whiterice #fruitsalady #canwesticktoznztimeforschooltomorrow

Such a wonderful last day in Stone Town. A visit to Prison Island including giant tortoises, shopping for tat in Stone Town then currently sat on a roof terrace watching the sun set on a beautiful trip #livingthedream

What a memorable last night in Makunduchi. The students came down to the beach to celebrate what has been an incredible two weeks. They certainly put our dance moves to shame. So much fun and happy memories were shared under the most beautiful stary sky #lifetimememories

Certainly our favourite mode of transport, the ever reliable dalla dalla! Gets over any terrain, up any gradient with all 20 of us in and even our 20 tonnes of luggage strung to the roof! Looking forward to the 2 hour ride back to stone town this morning #finalday

Such kind gifts from school, all the girls were given traditional kangas and the boys given traditional robes #dresslikealocal

An exchange of thanks this afternoon. In the words of Mr Kinole, the head of Makunduchi, ‘Long live the Makunduchi and Wales High partnership.’ #movingwords

Presenting the fab story boards!

[WHS Zanzibar 2018 @WHSZanzibar]

The diary story boards were a huge hit with the students this morning! They were able to write and draw about their favourite days of the past two weeks

[WHS Zanzibar 2018 @WHSZanzibar]

Sometimes it‘s the most simple things that are the most heart warming #whoworeitbetter

[WHS Zanzibar 2018 @WHSZanzibar]

Great to see such strong friendships between the WHS and the Makunduchi students

[WHS Zanzibar 2018 @WHSZanzibar]

Where to start with our last day at school. Painting, present giving, diary writing, presentations and a beach bonfire full of dancing and the happiest of memories under the stariest sky. Pictures to follow... #znzstoleourhearts #happiestmemories

Another early starting helping to paint the school buildings! Some questionable pain strokes going on but we got the job done 💪🏽

[WHS Zanzibar 2018 @WHSZanzibar]

6am starts are just too much for some people... #sleepypops #neverbeensopeaceful #workhardresthard

[WHS Zanzibar 2018 @WHSZanzibar]

We finished our school day with Zanzibar tourist leaflets! The task was to create an eye catching tourism leaflet for Zanzibar, giving the students a chance to show off their beautiful island #welcometozanzibar #thespiceisland #comeseeourmangroves #comeseeourbeaches

Sports day was a huge success. It was enjoyed by the Makunduchi students but it was a great challenge to our students, especially overcoming language barriers when trying to explain each activity #alwayslearning #overcomingbarriers #sportisalwaysthesolution

Painting, followed by a very successful sports day

Team work makes the dream work and hopefully makes it fit for the presidential visit 👌🏾

[WHS Zanzibar 2018 @WHSZanzibar]

Straight to work this morning! We were up at 6am and painting the school at 7am, getting it ready for the presidential visit on Wednesday!! #WHSpaintinganddecorating
