Pupils Queen’s Crescent Primary School in Chippenham have sent a book filled with photographs and details of their school to the Gambia.
Pupils on the school council compiled the book to celebrate their ties with the Mahaad Primary School. Mahaaad Principal Lamin Bojang and two of his colleagues took the chance to meet the children at Queen’s Crescent during a visit to Abbeyfield School.
Headteacher Julia Hawkins said: “We are looking for ways to develop our links with the primary school, and it is a very exciting time for us.
“Abbeyfield already has these links, and through them we learned of a primary school in the area that was keen to link up with us.
“When the teachers from Mahaad told their students we wanted to establish a link with them, the children stood up in assembly and started to dance and sing they were so excited.”
