This Tuesday Year 2 ventured into central London for a flight on the London Eye.

The children saw first hand a number of the famous buildings they had been learning about in topic, including The Shard, The Gherkin, St Paul’s, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.

They enjoyed drawing in their sketch books and experimenting making different shades and lines.

After lunch we walked along the South Bank to the Tate Modern Gallery. The children thoroughly enjoyed looking at the paintings and sculptures, and having a go at drawing what they could see.

It was a brilliant day. The following day the children wrote an account of the day and the quality of their writing was excellent. Well done Year 2!
