A SHOPPING centre in Chelmsford has donated dozens of flags from their Olympic displays to a local primary school.
Pupils from Mildmay Infant and Nursery School visited the High Chelmer Shopping Centre last week to collect the flags of the countries who competed in this year's Olympic games. And the display which adorned the shopping centre's walls will now help the little learners find out more about other cultures.
Carley Beck, deputy manager of the shopping centre, who presented the flags to the school said: "We were delighted to donate the flags which will be used to support teaching at Mildmay." The school has spent the summer term teaching the children about the Olympics and the flags will be used to enhance the students understanding of other countries.
A spokesperson for the school, said: "The children at Mildmay Infant & Nursery School have had a busy summer focussing on the Olympics and learning about different countries and cultures.
"The children produced some amazing work and we are delighted that The High Chelmer Shopping Centre is donating flags from their Olympic celebrations to us to support our continued learning about the world around us. Mildmay Infant & Nursery School is committed to ensuring that every learner participates in a curriculum that takes full account of the richness and variety of the world's cultures which enables every individual to fulfil his or her potential to the highest possible standard."
