Pupils at St Teath Primary School have been learning about Uganda, thanks to the experiences and knowledge of teacher, Amanda Evans. Amanda is a teacher who is employed by St Teath to teach the children about many different aspects of Uganda. Through the Food For Thought (FFT) programme, St Teath Primary School has been linked with Okwira Primary School in the Tororo district of Uganda. The aim of the programme is to teach primary school children about growing, farming and sustainability in both countries. To strengthen the link, with help from Food For Thought and funding from The British Council, Amanda was able to make a visit to Okwira. Whilst there she saw how the FFT programme had impacted on the schools in Uganda. The school grounds were packed with crops grown by the children and the children were teaching their parents and other relatives about the importance of farming and how to grow. Amanda had a chance to teach children in Okwira, including a class of seven and eight-year-olds containing around 200 children. St Teath children have benefited in many ways — as well as learning about different methods of Ugandan farming, they have been able to try out some of the methods themselves in our school garden. They have learnt about a much wider range of subjects linked to Uganda including art, history, music, geography etc as well as gaining a greater understanding of the diversity of world farming and culture. St Teath are also looking forward to the second part of the exchange when a teacher from Okwira comes to North Cornwall. Amanda and the future visit of a teacher from Okwira mean that the children will have a huge range of experiences and artefacts to use to further develop their understanding. Amanda's presentation gave parents, governors and children a taste of her visit and went into greater depth about the FFT project that the school is involved in. It also explained how they hope to further develop their school gardens by involving members of the community and possibly children from other local schools.
