We had a long but fantastic day on Wednesday taking Year 4 and Year 6 into London to meet our linked school Plaistow Primary school. The journey involved taken a train from Billingshurst to Victoria before jumping on the tube to Upton Park. This was a real adventure, especially for those children that had never been on a train before.

We were warmly welcomed by the Plaistow Primary and given a lovely roast for lunch. The children got stuck into making new friends quickly and enjoyed a fun orienteering activity.

After leaving the school we were able to stop off at some shops to see the diversity of the area and compare it with our local Plaistow village store. The children particularly enjoyed seeing the Indian bangles on offer.

The children did so well managing the journey home, staying close to their adults at all times. Even the 30 minute delay at Horsham didn’t dampen their spirits much. We are so grateful to all the parent helpers that took part and helped give the children such a memorable experience. Hopefully Plaistow primary will make the return trip to us in the Summer term.
