Some of our Year 6s enjoyed a fantastic trip to London on Saturday, making the most of a day filled with art, culture and exploration. The visit began with a scenic walk through the city, taking in some of London’s most iconic landmarks along the way. A particular highlight was spotting the impressive rehearsal for the Trooping of the Colour, which added an extra sense of excitement to the day.

Despite a little rain, spirits remained high. The refreshing showers didn’t dampen enthusiasm, especially as the beautiful London plane trees provided welcome shelter as the group continued their journey.

The class visited the Serpentine North in Hyde Park, where they explored David Hockney’s recent iPad drawings and paintings. This contemporary exhibition sparked creativity and curiosity among the pupils. From there, the group stepped back in time with a visit to the National Gallery. Each pupil had selected a painting in advance to research, and they confidently presented their findings to their peer: an impressive showcase of both knowledge and communication skills.

 

Overall, it was a brilliant day of discovery, inspiration and fabulous art that will be remembered by all.
