Winton House
A group of our Year 4 pupils enjoyed an interesting visit to Winton House, last week, where the residents were commemorating the life of Sir Nicholas Winton who worked tirelessly all throughout his life to help those in need. He is well known for helping hundreds of children escape Czechoslovakia before the start of World War 2 and ensuring they were housed and educated in Britain. Sir Nicholas Wintons' son spent time talking about his father with the children and sharing some inspiring thoughts for the children to ponder on. The children had time to reflect on a man who, in his son's words, "decided to get involved" and to not "live life as a passenger". He asked the children to always consider people as "envelopes" because "it's what's inside that matters".
