School children's performance '˜outstanding' at River Beach Awards

So it should not of been a surprise that when I was invited to the Year 6 pride of River Beach award ceremony that it was going to be good .

Well it was a surprise as it was better than good it was outstandingly good. The year 6 children organised the ceremony themselves from the comperes to the award presenters , and the singing was just exquisite.

The great part of this is that the children chose who was going to be their hero’s surprisingly enough even that had a twist to it as it was not just local people that they chose .

Nationally Mr Tim Peake received an award for being inspirational with which his parents collected on his behalf for obvious reasons .

Other awards went to a nurse from Great Ormond street for the care and support that she had given to one of our local children and a local Mum because she is a child minder and carer and so the list went on.

I would just like to say a big thank you for the invitation and to all those that were involved in putting this ceremony together especially to all the children that took part . Carry on the good work and you shall all go far.
