Pupils dived straight into another busy day, setting off bright and early from the hotel to visit Omega School. Nestled within a small compound, the school makes impressive use of its space, accommodating six classrooms and an outdoor area for Grades 1–6.

On arrival, pupils caught the end of the morning lessons before quickly getting involved. They split into groups across the classrooms and began leading a variety of craft activities, including making headbands, hats, bracelets, and star wands. Their enthusiasm was clear from the start—pupils showed great confidence and initiative, guiding the younger children and encouraging them every step of the way. The excitement in each classroom was infectious, with children proudly showing off their creations to one another.

A real highlight of the morning was a special video call involving Grade 4 pupils, who connected with three primary schools back in the West Midlands for a times tables competition. It was incredible to witness this meaningful link between schools—an opportunity made possible through the ongoing work of Project Gambia.

As the session came to an end, children poured out of their classrooms, eager to share what they had made. The atmosphere quickly turned celebratory, filled with singing, dancing, and plenty of photographs. Face painting proved especially popular, with children patiently lining up to have their faces transformed by our talented pupils.

After such a memorable morning, the group returned to St. Peter’s Nursery School in the afternoon to continue their classroom renovation project. Pupils began sketching out their design ideas directly onto the walls, creating bright and engaging learning displays featuring the alphabet, numbers, shapes, and days of the week.

To round off a busy yet rewarding day, pupils enjoyed a well-deserved treat with a visit to a local ice cream shop— the perfect ending after another unforgettable experience.
