The children in year six enjoyed a visit from the Belgrade Theatre today, who presented their production of ‘Big School’. The production was really interactive and followed the lives of two primary school children facing changes in their lives. The children were encouraged to help the characters through their worries, which they did really well! Year six showed great maturity during the performance and have proved to themselves they are ready for the transition to secondary school.

We would like to pass on our thanks to the Belgrade Theatre for a fantastic performance!

Just before the holidays something really exciting happened at John Gulson. The children got to meet a gold medal winner from the Common Wealth Games. Leon Baptiste, came to the school for the whole day and spent a lot of time with the children completing different activities and sporting exercises. We started with Year 6 in the morning and worked our way down the school throughout the day. After speaking to the children, I can tell you it was absolute success and they cannot wait for another athlete to visit our school next year. Just before the end of the day Leon gave a speech to the children in the KS2 hall about his life and how he made it to become an athlete. It was very inspiring to listen to and you could have heard a pin drop in the hall as the children were very intent, listening to every word that Leon had to say.

Thank you again Leon for visiting our school, we all enjoyed ourselves very much.
