Little Thurrock pupils celebrate centenary with song and dance

MORE than 500 children from Little Thurrock Primary graced the stage to celebrate 100 years since the school was opened.

The centenary celebration, held at the Civic Hall in Blackshots Lane, Grays on Monday evening, gave pupils a chance to show off their singing and dancing talent with renditions of songs from various decades of the last 100 years.

Headteacher Liz Jackson, said: “The show involved children singing songs from the different decades with a Doctor Who time travelling theme.

“It went really well and was a very musical and colourful event.”

As part of the preparations for the show children learnt in class about the history of the last 100 years.

An open day will be held at the school in Rectory Road, Grays on Saturday (November 29) to give ex-pupils a chance to visit the school and reminisce about their school days.
