Every week volunteers from two local businesses, The Harbour and Caterpillar, take time out to read with children in Key Stage 2. As an end of year celebration, pupils involved went to find out about the volunteers' work. They had a fantastic morning at the harbour terminal, boarding the ship and visiting the captain. One pupil even passed on vital radio commands, from the Harbour Master's office to the leaving ship. The pupils then enjoyed a food filled treat box and took home a ten pound gift token, a t-shirt, a beautiful Caterpillar baseball hat and a construction toy. The pupils were treated like real VIPs. Many thanks to the fabulous volunteers for their time each week and for such a super morning. Thanks must also go to the management of both companies for releasing their staff to do this super work!
