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.

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.
