Year 6 trip to London

Year 6 accompanied by Mrs Wright, Mrs Garnett, Mrs Hawksley, John Buttrick (Children’s University) and four Children’s University mentors all visited London on Monday, 24th November.

Everyone arrived in good time to catch the 7am train from Hull Paragon Station.

The day included travelling on the Underground, a walking sight-seeing tour including 10, Downing Street, the Cenotaph, Horse Guards Parade, Westminster, Buckingham Palace and St James Park.

The visit to Parliament started with security checks at Portcullis House and a question time with Diana Johnson MP.

The children then visited the various grand halls including the House of Commons, St Stephens Hall and Westminster Hall.

The next stop was a ride on the London Eye which everyone loved even though some had felt a little nervous before the trip as the London Eye is so BIG! After the ride most people wanted another turn but it was time to get back to Kings Cross for the journey home.

A good time was had by all. Many thanks to the Children’s University particularly John Buttrick for organising and subsidising the trip.
