On Thursday we visited our twin school, Plaistow Primary in London. Luck was on our side as despite all the previous trains from Billingshurst to Victoria being cancelled ours wasn’t and we got seats! We enjoyed playing cards, drawing and looking at the sights as we made our way to London. Once in Victoria we took the underground to Upton Park and then had a short walk in the sun to Plaistow Primary. We split into two groups and played some ice breaker games with the year six children there, we were surprised to find that they had been reading Kensuke’s Kingdom, just like we had! At 12:30 everyone went out to play - their playground was huge- before enjoying a delicious lunch. Next it was a quick walk to the market to buy some bling, sweets and lip gloss. All the essentials! We a nice trip back on the train enjoying our sweets and bumping into a retired couple who used to go to Plaistow and Kirdford, back when it was two schools! The children enjoyed chatting to them about what the schools had been like and telling the couple what they were like now. The whole trip was a fantastic experience for the children and I am very grateful to all the parent volunteers who enabled it to happen.
