This week, Year 6 and Year 4 had a fabulous day out to Plaistow, London where we visited our new friends at Plaistow Primary School.

We went by train and tube and were then met by their deputy head teacher at Upton Park Station. From there, it was a short walk to their school. We spent time meeting children in their classrooms, played games together, had a lovely lunch in their hall and then played outside together on their playground.

It was so lovely for us all to meet the children and staff at Plaistow Primary School and we really look forward to forging a lovely friendship moving forwards. We will be welcoming their Year 6 children to our school in July and cannot wait to show them around our school grounds.

Once it was time for us to wave goodbye, we were able to spend some time looking in the shops nearby, enabling us to make comparisons between their Plaistow and ours.

Mr Butler, Mrs Powell, Miss Smith and Mrs Griggs would like to say a huge thank you to all the parents who accompanied us on the day - without you, we would not have been able to give our children this experience. We would also like to thank all the children’s parents for putting your trust in us - we know that some children had been a little bit worried beforehand but we really hope they enjoyed their day and that their confidence has grown as a result.
