The local children from the School’s Nursery and Reception were eager to get on the coach to make the five-minute journey to the care home near Arundel. The residents from the retirement home in Sussex had a delightful afternoon of puzzles, games and stories followed by a magical performance from the School’s young choir.
The school said; “We all agreed it had been a really special afternoon and it was lovely to overhear some kind comments from the residents. “A very successful afternoon, enjoyed by all,” was one lovely thought. “It was a lovely afternoon; thank you for coming” was another lady’s reflection and our favourite comment was an observation on how well-behaved the children were.”
