In March, Year 5 and 6 travelled into London, firstly to the Sealife Centre (on the Southbank, next to the London Eye) where we saw a huge range of species ranging from sea horses to sharks! Then, we walked across Westminster Bridge, viewing the Houses of Parliament, Downing Street and Big Ben, and found space to have our lunch in St James' Park, just a stone's throw from Buckingham Palace.

After lunch we walked up to Trafalgar Square, heading to the National Gallery, where we immersed ourselves in the incredible collection of priceless artwork. We compared pieces by Turner, Constable and Rembrant, discussed symbols and themes we spotted in paintings from across Europe and got close enough to Van Gogh's Sunflowers to be able to see the individual brush strokes!
