On Thursday we had a brilliant day out to London. We met at Billingshurst station and jumped on the train to London Victoria. The children were calm and confident as we walked through the bustling station on our way to the underground.
We found the District Line (Green) and headed Eastbound to Upton Park. Noticing the tube sign for Plaistow on the way!
After a short walk from Upton Park we got to Plaistow Primary and were welcomed by our linked classes. We go to watch an amazing dance video and play some ice breakers before exploring the playground at lunch.
After some yummy fish fingers and chips we hopped back in the classrooms to say our goodbyes and headed off to the market to see what bargains we could find.
The children chose some great souvenirs from the diverse arrange of shops. There were sparkly jewellery, cool sunglasses, fancy hair accessories and of course edible goodies like spicy Asian crisps, Caribbean fruit punch and even a massive slice of juicy watermelon.
We marched back to the tube stop, eager not to miss our return train and had a pleasant journey home reminiscing about the sights we’d seen from a trip to the city and the new friends we’d made. Thank you so much to all the adults and parent helpers that accompanied Mrs Ashton-Smith and I. We couldn’t have done it without you and hopefully it was a brilliant experience for the children.
