Easter Garden at Westminster Abbey
This year, St Matthew’s School had the privilege of creating the Easter Garden for Westminster Abbey. With the help of artist, Chris Minchin, the children created a beautiful backdrop made up of every child’s hand, origami birds containing prayers and a large sunburst. The garden in front is bordered by stones on which the children wrote ‘He is not here, He has risen’. The garden will be in the Abbey for the next few weeks, so do go and visit!

The West End has lots of shops and theatres and it is also where I did a show at the Palladium near London Bridge. The West End is the most expensive place in the world to rent an office. I’ve been there twice to see Billy Elliot.
