Our Trip to Wonderland!

On Friday we went on an exciting trip around the River Thames. First, we walked to the River at Southwark Bridge, then we walked all the way along until Tower Bridge. On the way we passed Cannon Street Railway Bridge and London Bridge. We were very lucky once we arrived at Tower Bridge because it was just about to open for a boat to sail through. We couldn’t believe our luck!
After crossing Tower Bridge, we walked along the north side of the river along to the Millennium Bridge (AKA the Wobbly Bridge, the Harry Potter Bridge). We carefully crossed the Millennium bridge in time for our lunch (and the rain!). We had to eat our lunch quickly because we didn’t want to be late for our exciting session in the afternoon at the RNIB Literary Wonderland where we were going to meet CBBC presenter and magician… Ben Hanlin!
Ben Hanlin was very funny, he played a lot of tricks on us including using telepathy with Miss Deacon! Afterwards, read us an extract from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Then we were free to explore the Wonderland and learn about all the sense we use to explore books.

Here are some photo’s from our trip.

Our Class Assembly

This week we were able to share some of the things we have been learning about with the rest of the school and our parents. It was our Class Assembly! We decided on a theme – Science. We have been learning all about the body and how it moves and grows.
We have been learning a song to help us remember some of the bones in the body.

Here is us performing it at our assembly!
