What a brilliant day! The children in Cherry and Cedar class thoroughly enjoyed their day spent at the Tower of London. From the moment they stepped out of Tower Hill station they were in awe of the spectacular view of the Castle. As they walked around the moat the children gasped as they laid their eyes on all of the features of a Castle they have been learning about in class.
Once inside, we explored the narrow, twisting Towers and went into the White Tower (the Castle Keep). Here we saw a vast array of impressive armour and weaponry. To top it off we ended with a visit to the breath-taking, sparkly Crown Jewels.
The children were told historical stories as well as being taught lots of interesting facts about the Castle. For example, did you know that the Tower of London is not only a Castle but was also used as a prison and a zoo?
It was a pleasure seeing how engaged and enthusiastic the children were in their learning; they did us proud. So much so that a member of the public took the time to compliment the behaviour of the children whilst on public transport! To sum it up, in the words of Charlie and Tommy, "this was the best day ever!"
