Sakura Event

Sakura Event

Children from George Eliot Primary School and Robinsfield Infant School joined The Duke of Gloucester and Japanese Ambassador to the UK, Yasumasa Nagamine, as well as the Founder and the joint Chairman of Sakura Cherry Tree Project for the first formal planting of the 6,500 Japanese cherry trees – or Sakura in Japanese – gifted to the UK by Japan, at a ceremony in Regent’s Park last week. We were thrilled that George Eliot were chosen to sing a traditional Japanese song for guests. The children sang beautifully and were fantastic ambassadors for our school. The event was covered by national and international press and we were even featured BBC News.
