Today the children made a class collage of the Fire of London. Some of the children also decided to build parts of London in the construction area and then placed red and orange items on top of the buildings to make them look like they were on fire! There was some great teamwork, child initiated activities, creativity and most importantly we had a lot of fun!

Year 5 assembled bright and early for their final full day in the Capital.
The day commenced with a flight on the London Eye, affording breathtaking views in each direction of the compass. We then donned our sea legs and took a relaxing boat trip along the Thames, spotting famous landmarks along the route.
From here we had lunch and then proceeded to marvel at some old masters in the National Gallery. The children relished the opportunity to discuss and debate the finer points of these paintings and impressed the museum guides with their knowledge and ideas.
Next stop, the Houses of Parliament, where superb guides revealed the historical secrets of past monarchs and the procedures followed by our present government.
Our trip culminated in our final supper together at the superb ‘Ask’ restaurant where we dined in style and reminisced fondly over the events of the last few days.

The excited children (and teachers) set off promptly from Darlington station this morning with a wonderful send off from some anxious parents. Children settled well on the train but found it difficult to restrain themselves from eating all their pack lunch by 9.30am!
We arrived safely at London Kings Cross and after dropping off our bags at the hotel, we headed for the British Museum and then Les Miserables. You could have heard a pin drop as the children were so engrossed in the performance and the childrens' behaviour was praised by the theatre ushers and other members of the audience.
After this the children were ready for their pizzas and ice cream before finishing the evening with an open top bus tour of London, professionally guided by our own Mr Sellers.
