Oswestry students give lessons in French shopping

Pupils from a secondary school in Oswestry have been helping younger children in the town to learn French.

Year 9 Language Leaders from The Marches School spent a day at Woodside Primary School teaching Year 3 and 4 pupils.

They took part in four different classes to teach the younger pupils to buy food at a French market stall.

Rosalind Powell, language teacher at The Marches School, said: "We had a very positive response from the children and teachers at Woodside and our students thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

"The Marches students planned the entire session themselves, designing creative activities to assists pupils' learning.

"Visits to Morda and Trefonen Primary Schools are planned for forthcoming weeks to teach pupils German and Spanish."

The Language Leaders Award aims to develop pupils' leadership skills.
