Plaistow Primary - London visit.

We felt very welcome visiting our friends at Plaistow Primary in East London on Thursday.

The children were bubbling with excitement as we boarded the train to Victoria from Billingshurst Station.

We navigated the tube and the busy colourful market to reach the school just in time for a quick introduction in classrooms before lunch. The children were amazed by some of the differences in the surroundings and one child was even overheard saying “Wow they have stairs!” We loved looking at the display boards and spotting the same topic work that we have been doing.

The children played on all the new equipment and lots joined in with a big football game at lunch.

Before beginning the journey back, the children were tasked with finding something new to buy that was unavailable in their local stores at home. There was an abundance of cultural jewellery and fresh exotic foods for the children to sample.

All the staff were particularly pleased with everyone’s sensible behaviour and were happy the train connections all went smoothly and on time, unlike last year! A massive thank you to all the adults who helped out and made this trip possible.
