3 days in london - a capital idea
This week 23 children in year 6 took the opportunity to visit London for three days.
In a packed programme the children saw some of the world's greatest paintings at the National Gallery, visited the Houses of Parliament and compared St Paul's Cathedral with our own. For many the highlight was watching Matilda the musical in the West End and, for those who preferred acting to watching, the children had the chance to work with a Shakespearean actor in a drama workshop, following a tour of the Globe Theatre. The three days were completed with a bird's eye view over the capital city from the London Eye.
Many thanks for the staff who gave up time away from their own families to support the visit.
