Students mentor primary pupils

A group of our students visited Gretton Primary School to work with its pupils.

A group of our students visited Gretton Primary School to work with its pupils.

The CBA students are involved in the McGraw Hill Literacy Initiative which is designed to boost students’ reading proficiency.

During their visit they mentored pupils in Years 3 and 4 and read their favourite books from this year’s Kate Greenaway Award shortlist.

Our students were accompanied by English Teacher Helen Bennett and Librarian Amy McKay.

Miss McKay said: “Our students did some peer mentoring, working with four pupils at a time, and read aloud their favourite picture books to the younger pupils.

“Year 3 voted Alfie Pye as their best reader and Pawel Chrowstowski read their favourite book which was The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywait and Oliver Jeffers.”
