Parliament and Horseguards
Posted on May 1, 2026 | By Mr Cole
We hadn’t expected to be able to go into the chambers of the House of Commons or House of Lords because we thought both Houses would be sitting which would have meant viewing from the public galleries. However, Parliament was prorogued on the morning of our visit. This means it was the “end of term” […]
The London Eye
Posted on May 1, 2026 | By Mr Cole
We split into two groups for the London Eye – here are some of the photos of the amazing views. We could see Wembley Stadium in the north of London and Alexandra Palace and Crystal Palace TV masts to the south.
Pizza Hut and Matilda
Posted on April 28, 2026 | By Mr Cole
Pizza hut in Leicester Square this evening had a surprise bonus: the Odeon was staging the Premiere of Billie Eilish’s movie so the crowds were huge and there was a real buzz of excitement. The event security also helped us in and out of Pizza Hut through the crowds, so we felt a bit like […]
Legoland

We had a brilliant time at Legoland today. Sadly the flume was closed but we went on lots of other rides: Ninjago, Sprinning Spiders, Jolly Rocket, The Dragon rollercoaster, Coastguard HQ, Deep Sea Adventure Submarines and Minifigure Speedway rollercoaster.
London Walking Tour
Posted on April 27, 2026 | By Mr Cole
It’s been a lovely evening in London. There aren’t too many people around so we were able to move around quite easily, from the Wellington Arch to Buckingham Palace, then to St James’ Park and Trafalgar Square. Finally on the way back we crossed Tower Bridge which was lit up beautifully, along with the Tower […]
London Residential Day 1
Posted on April 27, 2026 | By Mr Cole
We’ve had a brilliant first day of our Y5 Residential. The journey up to London was really smooth and we arrived at the Youth Hostel in good time. As soon as we’d checked into the Youth Hostel, we were on the road again, heading for our evening meal at Hard Rock Cafe at Hyde Park […]

Inventafish Workshop
Posted on March 31, 2026 | By jseymourvsp
This morning we had our final workshop. We explored different animal parts and tried to work out what animal they came from. Then we explored some marine life in virtual reality. Finally, the children worked together to create their own animal. They had to think about its habitat, diet, how it breathes, protects itself, how […]

Archery 🏹
Posted on March 24, 2026 | By cdaviesvsp
Despite the drizzle and windy conditions, we got out in the garden at Pixies Holt and fired some arrows at the archery boards. After some practise arrows, we did some team and individual high scores as well as the eliminator round, which went to the gold round between TJ and Joshua, which was eventually won […]
