Year 10 Service Learning – Clover Connect

Written by Sally Leslie, Head of House - Laver

The Clover Connect programme is a Service Learning activity that allows Somerset students to go across the road to our neighbours and read with Year 3 Clover Hill students. It is an opportunity to be a part of the journey a young child undertakes when learning to read and comprehend short stories.

From my perspective, seeing their eager faces every Wednesday morning is the primary reason I attend. Watching their attitude change over the weeks as they become more confident in themselves is a rewarding experience.

The Clover Hill students who are attending this semester do find reading particularly challenging, and so the relationships formed between the students of both schools increase the level of engagement of these young readers. Many of the Somerset students, after only three weeks, have already formed bonds with these children as you become almost a role model figure to them. I highly recommend coming one week to see for yourself the mutual benefits of Clover Connect.

There are still a few spaces available for Year 10 students, so if you wish to be involved, I encourage you to come and speak with Mrs Leslie; it is a very worthwhile and enjoyable Service Learning activity.
