On Monday 20th June Year 5 went on an extra special adventure! We travelled by tube to the Embankment where we caught the River Bus (also known as a Clipper) up to Greenwich. On the river we saw many sites including: The London Eye, Big Ben, The Tower of London, The Shard, Tower Bridge, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, Canary Wharf, and Greenwich itself!

After we had disembarked we made our way to the Maritime Museum, and went to the Above and Beyond exhibit that linked with our Topic on Space. Although the weather was awful the children were fantastic, and we walked through Greenwich Park up a very steep hill to ‘The Best View in London’ After we had posed for photos we went on the D.L.R (Docklands, Light Railway) which does not have a driver back to Bank where we caught our connection on the Central line to East Acton.

The children behaved themselves very well, and the adult helpers, Teachers and children had a fantastic day out. Thank you to Miss O’Brien, Miss Holmes and all the adult helpers who gave up their time to make a truly unforgettable day.
