#WestSussexToMajorTim
Channel: wsccvideo
Date: 06/12/2016

West Sussex schools have created a unique video message inviting local astronaut Tim Peake to make a return visit to his home county.

The video, which features a special poem throughout, includes some of the school children using sign language and specially-created artwork.

Tim grew up in Westbourne and attended Westbourne Primary School.

Children are keen to hear first-hand from him about what it was like growing up in Chichester, how he became the first British European Space Agency Astronaut and his enthusiasm for science and fulfilling his dreams.

If Tim accepts the children's invitation, West Sussex County Council and The Youth Cabinet hope to host a special event, which could be live streamed to all of the county's schools.
