BOARD games for pupils at Ledbury Primary School have been paid for with a Community Chest grant from Ledbury Rotary Club.

Teacher Heather Crowley said that playing games "provides pupils with the opportunity to learn a range of important skills".

She added: "These include critical thinking, creativity, teamwork, ingenuity, problem solving as well as good sportsmanship and communication." Visiting the school, Rotarian Jan Long was presented with a sheaf of thank you letters written by the pupils who all remarked that they were enjoying and learning from the many different board games.
