Day 1 - A trip into London

Year 6 enjoy a London experience!



Monday, the 8th of February was the beginning of a fun filled Activity Week for some of the children in Year 6.

The morning started off a little damp and cold, however, this did not dampen the spirits of the Year 6 children and adults!
We made our way after registration to the tube station for our journey to the London Eye and IMAX Cinema.
As we were walking to the tube, the children (not the adults), were pleasantly surprised to see SNOW!!! The tube ride to Embankment was full of hightened conversation about what to expect from the day ahead.
The London Eye proved a great success! The children could not believe that we were actually moving as it went round so slowly and at the highest point, we were 135metres in the air!
We were lucky enough to have a guide for our journey to point out all the interesting places that we have in London and also a great number of historical facts.
As it was still snowing, we made our way to the IMAX Cinema early to have our lunch in the warmth!
When we went into the auditorium, we were all given HUGE glasses to wear (see pictures below!) which the children found so amusing! The children loved the film, Dinosaurs. Some children and even the adults jumped out of their seats a few times when the dinosaurs came towards us!

The day was a great success and I am sure most of the children will be in bed early tonight as we made them walk quite far!
Pictures of the day!

  2. Wow Kids,

    It looks as though you are having an absolute ball! Love the glasses!

    In Australia at the moment it is close to 40 degrees centigrade which is about 104 degrees farenheit! My children have not seen snow! Ever!

    I am glad that I was not on the eye as being a little afraid of heights I don't think I would enjoy 135 metres straight up!

    Hope the rest of your term is also great fun.

    Cheers
