Enrichment at Whyteleafe Primary School

Over the first five weeks of this term, six Caterham Lower Sixth students have been enriching the geographical lives of Year 5 pupils at Whyteleafe Primary School.  Every Monday lunchtime they have travelled to Whyteleafe to deliver a series of lessons ranging from map skills to testing earthquake-proof housing to finally demonstrating the different ways in which volcanoes erupt!  The students have found this a very rewarding experience and I have been immensely impressed with the way in which they have approached the tasks – talking maturely with the Whyteleafe pupils, guiding and helping them to get the best out of the activities and confidently delivering the material with only a 30 minute preparation window. I am very much looking forward to the next half of term, with six new Lower Sixth students and a new Year 5 class!
