On Monday 28th March a group of Year 8 students visited London. The trip started at the British Museum to look at the Chinese section comprising of genuine artefacts and Chinese ceramics. The students really enjoyed this and took their time looking around the museum and taking it all in. Their objective was to find their favourite piece of Jade and also their favourite plate.
After the museum, we walked to Chinatown where the students had lunch at a Chinese restaurant, they had a go at eating with chopsticks (which most did really well!) and some even tried using their Chinese language skills. After the restaurant, students went for a walk through Chinatown, where they spotted Chinese writing and were able to decipher what some of it meant.
The day ended up with students getting either bubble tea or bubble wrap. One student commented that they had never seen Trafalgar Square and would like to see it, so on our way back to the train station we went through Trafalgar Square which the students loved as they got to take in the sights of London many hadn’t seen before.
Please see below what the students said about the trip –
"I really enjoyed today, we got to walk around lots of parts of London and we went to different shops, a Chinese restaurant and the British Museum. The thing I most enjoyed about today was the food at the restaurant (especially the steam buns) and just walking around taking in all the scenery of London. Overall I really liked this trip and would love to go again if I could!"
