 pupils & staff of Ringwood School  with their 'Gambia Hello' message

Here are some of the pupils and staff of Ringwood School in Hampshire with their GAMBIA HELLO message - we are delighted to say that this school is going to link with Bakalarr Basic Cycle School and the Plymouth-Banjul Challenge team IceCold in Bakalarr has collected gifts of school materials and sports items from Ringwood to take with them to The Gambia. 

Staff and children at Ringwood have been working on letters to the Bakalarr children and the HO Dept in Maths has produced laminated A4 cards with Maths geometric designs on them and on the back a photograph of the student who has completed the design, with some information about themselves.

We look forward to seeing all the donated items when we visit Bakalarr in February, and to taking lots of photographs to bring back for Ringwood. We have been trying to find a good link for Bakalarr for some time and feel we have really succeeded here - as Chris Edwards, the Ringwood Head Teacher says, 'The children are really up for the challenge of building the link with Bakalarr School.'

We wish both schools well in setting up this link, and hope it will lead to many exchanges of letters, views and perhaps even personal visits in the years to come.
