London-Themed Activities for Year 2!
This term, Year 2's topic is London and to enhance their learning the girls took part in a number of London-related activities.
London Lego Workshop
At the beginning of the week, the girls were treated to a London Lego workshop.
The girls were able to choose a London Landmark and then build their own version of it, making it more colourful or eco-friendly if they wanted. The girls then added their landmark to the map of London. Their final product definitely looked a lot more colourful than the current London landscape!
School Trip to the London Eye
To bring their Autumn Term topic to life, Year 2 went on a River Thames cruise followed by a flight on the London Eye so that the girls could experience the landmarks of our wonderful city first-hand.
There were lots of whoops of delight as they spotted the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace and the Shard.
School Newspaper Report
On Wednesday 27 September, Year 2 went on a fascinating school trip to the London Eye, this was an amazing experience for all the girls. They had a view of the shard and much more.
History of The London Eye
The London Eye is a cantilevered observation wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. It is Europe’s tallest cantilevered observation wheel and the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom with over three million visitors annually. At 443 feet high, the London Eye is currently the fourth-largest Ferris wheel in the world, and the Year 2 girls were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of this wonderful landmark.
I caught up with one of the pupils, who told me what the trip was like:
‘My favourite part of the trip was seeing the shard, it was amazing.’
