Cruising down the river!

Today, Peake and Fiennes classes went on an exciting trip to London.  We explored the sights on the London Eye River Cruise and it was a great, educational tour. The commentator on the boat, whose name was Ben, was hilarious.  As well as telling us lots of facts about the buildings, bridges and parts of the river itself, he had us laughing out loud with his jokes.

We saw many famous landmarks including the London Eye, London Bridge, Tower Bridge, the Houses of Parliament, the Shard, HMS Belfast, St. Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London and many, many more.  It was interesting to learn a bit more about the history of some of these landmarks too.

Here are just a few things that we saw on the cruise:

After our tour, we had lunch in the lovely setting of the Jubilee Gardens and then we had some time to play in the play park before walking back to Waterloo East station to get our train home.  

Unfortunately, on the way home our train was diverted and we had to wait quite a while at Dartford before we could get a different train back to Bexleyheath.  Everyone behaved extremely sensibly though and we were very glad to be back at school!

Thank you again to all the staff and parents who helped to make it a great day for us all.
