Frodsham school’s visit to Ghana

STAFF from Frodsham Manor House Primary School enjoyed their fifth visit to their partnership school in Accra, Ghana.
Manor House and the Living Star school have been working together for eight years and their partnership goes from strength to strength.
Head teacher Ian Devereux-Roberts, international co-ordinator Naomi Anstice and Year 1 class teacher Joanna Billington went on the trip and enjoyed spending the weekend with the Living Star head teacher’s family.
They visited the local beach, a five star hotel for lunch and a church service attended by a thousand Christians as well as shopping for new djembes at the craft market,  which have been brought back to Frodsham to add to the  school’s set of African drums.
During the week the teachers spent the days in school answering questions about the UK, teaching numeracy and Hot Cross Buns on the recorder, as well as observing science and business lessons.
The party  also presented gifts from their families to the nursery department as well as a class set of recorders and had a chance to catch up with pupils who had visited Manor House three years ago.
Manor House is now looking forward to having two staff members from Living Star visit in July. They are also starting a year of fundraising with the aimof bringing 10 children to visit Frodsham next year.
Anyone who would like to donate should contact the school.
