This week Year 5 have taken part in a wonderful intergenerational project with Chelsea Pensioners from The Royal Hospital.

On Monday the children interviewed our special guests and heard fascinating tales from their lives.

Through a series of workshops with Anna the Storyteller, each afternoon this week, Year 5 composed and rehearsed sketches of the amazing stories they'd heard.

At the end the week on Friday, the Chelsea Pensioners returned to St Clement Danes and Year 5 performed their life stories, to a spellbound audience of parents and children. 

This has been such a special and very moving project. Enormous thanks to Anna the Storyteller and to the Chelsea Pensioners - Roger, Tony, Alan, Mike, Helen and Ivor. It's been a great privilege to welcome them to St Clement Danes.
