Students on history tour

THE GEORGE LAMMING Primary School took the message of African awareness on the road yesterday.
The school partnered with the Pan African Commission and the Barbados Museum to take Class 3 and 4 students on a tour of six monuments of National Heroes – Sir Garfield Sobers, Clement Payne, Bussa, Sir Grantley Adams, Errol Barrow and Sir Frank Walcott.
Three buses transported the classes to the different locations.
At Kensington Oval, excited students were taking notes at the foot of the statue of Sir Garfield.
Class 4 teacher Janelle Johnson told the DAILY NATION: “We are viewing these statues in Bridgetown and its environs to find out why they are there, who they are named after and about the National Heroes they are named after,” adding the children would write a report afterwards.
Johnson said about 180 children were involved in the tour.
