It was a fantastic day and the children really enjoyed visiting the capital city. Not only did they have their guided tour of the Globe theatre and workshop with the Globe's players (actors) they got to see some of London's most iconic landmarks: St Paul's Cathedral, Houses of Parliament, The Queen Elizabeth 2 Tower (with Big Ben), The Shard, The Millennium Bridge, MI6 headquarters, to name a few.
And a big thank you to all the staff who came along, and the parents for collecting when we returned in the dark!

Year 5 had a great morning journeying through Space and exploring the constellations in the planetarium. We then had a chance to investigate other areas of science with some fantastic interactive exhibits.
Year 4 have spent the day exploring evaporation and condensation. Have a look below at what we did.
