Sadako Sasaki (佐々木 禎子 Sasaki Sadako^?, January 7, 1943 – October 25, 1955) was a Japanese girl who was two years old when an American atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, near her home next to the Misasa Bridge. Sadako became one of the most widely known hibakusha — a Japanese term meaning "bomb-affected person". She is remembered through the story of the one thousand origami cranes she folded before her death, and is to this day a symbol of the innocent victims of nuclear warfare.  Ref: Wikipedia

Year 7 at the Pantomime.

On Tuesday 14^th December 45 year 7 students were invited to the Xmas Pantomime, Snow White, at Woking Theatre.  They were all in high spirits and joined in with the singing, dancing and booing and were, possibly, the loudest group in the Theatre!  The evening ended with a ‘shout out’ to Winston which added that extra personal touch.
