Photos and Congratulations on the Year 5 Great Expectations trip

As promised, here are some more pictures of the Year 5 trip yesterday to the Vaudeville Theatre. The children went to see a production of Great Expectations in line with their literacy studies. The children were even fortunate enough to meet two of the stars of the play, Taylor Jay-Davies (young Pip) and Josh Elwell (Mr Joe Gargery). They said they spotted the children in the audience and thought they were fantastic!

It is worth noting that SIX individual members of the public that encountered our children, both on public transport and in the theatre, made a point of approaching staff to comment on the exceptional behaviour that our children displayed. They represented our school with such pride, and we really could not have asked any more of them.
One kind lady remarked, "My husband and I were watching the children through the entire performance and we couldn't fault them once. Superb!"
Another commented, "What a credit these children are to you all. We couldn't believe that such young children studied and followed such a complex story so sensibly and with great interest."
It is so good to see that other people are noticing what we knew about our children for such a very long time. They even took on the might of public transport rush hour without a single groan!
Well done to all children that went on both of the trips. We are all incredibly proud of you.
Also, thankyou once again to all staff that accompanied the children. It couldn't have been done without you.
