Letters from St. Mary’s Primary

The pupils of St. Peter’s Primary in Standard 5 were over the moon when they received letters from Primary 5 pupils in St. Mary’s Primary in Largs.  They were also delighted with the lovely Easter cards.  Over the next couple of weeks the pupils will draft their letters which we will carry back to the pupils at St. Mary’s.  Everyone is very happy to have the opportunity to communicate with friends in Scotland.  The children in Standard 5 are being taught full time in English now, whereas before teachers would communicate in Chitumbuka (local language), Chichewa (national language) and English only during English lessons.  The pupils are delighted to have the chance to practise their written English skills via the letters.  They read out their letters to each other and over the week they will read them aloud to their classmates.
