Year 6 were lucky enough to attend yet another fantastic trip, organised by all the staff to Central London.  After leaving school at about 9:30, we travelled by tube to North Greenwich where we got the Emirates Cable Car over the Thames to Docklands and back again.  Some children did not realise how high it went, but all were very brave on the Cable Car itself and enjoyed the amazing views of London from both sides. We had a great time spotting iconic buildings and trying to find John Perryn Primary School in the distance.

After a picnic lunch, we boarded the MBNA Thames Clipper and went along the Thames, all the way from North Greenwich to Embankment. It was great seeing London from this perspective and everyone had another great day.

Next time you are out in the playground, ask a Year 6 student what special buildings and landmarks they saw.

After a busy few months preparing and sitting their SATS, Oak and Chestnut Class were very much looking forward to their trip to Chessington where they could finally unwind, spend time with friends and try something new.  The journey to Chessington went quickly and everybody was happy to arrive.  Year 6 spent most of their day in the air or hanging upside down on the rides and loved every minute if it.  Everyone really let their hair down and enjoyed a fantastic day of fun, laughter and adrenaline!  Before long, it was time to come back to school but not before one last go on The Vampire Ride – everybody’s favourite.  A great, great day!

Year 6 have been lucky enough to work with ‘The Art Box’, a local group that works with schools in the community. We have been learning about the effects of World War Two on East Acton.  As you can see, the children really enjoyed their learning!
