A group of students at a Shropshire college have spent the last term volunteering at a primary school to help pupils with their English and also assist their teachers.
On a regular basis throughout the school year the Concord College students have been volunteering at Longnor Primary School where they have shared their culture with the young boys and girls.
Students from China, Nigeria, Pakistan and Thailand shared information about their capitals, food, clothing, celebrations and language with the Longnor Primary School pupils whose ages ranged from five to 11. “It was a wonderful afternoon filled with learning and laughter,” Mr Daniel Wilson, Concord’s Assistant Principal said. “To see our students talk so passionately about their own backgrounds and engage with the boys and girls and answer all their questions was lovely. The work that the volunteers have done with the local primary school pupils has been mutually rewarding and we look forward to strengthening this outreach in the future.
