SETTLE -KWEZANA LINK
Pupils at Settle Primary have sent their first posting of the year to Kwezana and included photos of pupils building snowmen during the recent snowy weather. They explained how they also bring sledges to school in order to sledge on the slopes on the field in winter and commented how odd they would find it to have Christmas in the sun. One school governor however will be enjoying the African sun at present as Gillian Gape is currently visiting Kwezana School as part of the programme to develop the links between the two schools. A former primary school head and advisor Mrs Gape will be spending a week in Kwezana school advising on curriculum development and has taken videos showing pupils work at Settle Primary with her and will be making videos with Kwezana pupils to show to Settle pupils on her return.
