St Mark's CE Primary School

Nina and Mariatou from COGS (children on the Gambia Services) came to speak to our children about all of the  progress the charity have made and how we can look to support them as a school going forward. Mariatou grew up in the Gambia and was happy to answer questions about differences and similarities to the lives of children growing up where she lived. She was also keen to show us that she could balance a lot on her head because when she was younger she helped her mother carry water to their home and, with the use of a scarf, this was an easier way to transport items and freed up hands to hold more items.
