Barn Owls visit London!

An early start didn't affect the excitement of our children today 11th March 2019...we had the most fantastic visit to London!

It all started at the Houses of Parliament...

Then we walked down Whitehall, past the Cenotaph and other war memorials, to Downing Street and Horseguard's Parade. At the end of Whitehall, we went under Admiralty Arch and walked a little way down The Mall, so that we could see Buckingham Palace. After than, we came back to Trafalgar Square, where we ate our lunch, as we surveyed Nelson's Column, the lions and the fountains, along with watching all the people there- in the sun!

After our lunch we went to the National Gallery to see some world-famous paintings- magical- before looking back down Whitehall from the steps of this amazing gallery, to see all the way back to Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster, where our day had befun. Definitely three of our 100 memorable events...

Osiligi Maasai Warriors

A group of Maasai from Kenya visited to share something of their traditions and culture with us, through dance, song big and discussion. It was an amazingly no experience!

Barn Owls make sushi and try origami

This week we have been investigating Japanese life as part of our around the world topic. We have been looking at the Japanese artefacts that Mrs Grottick brought in.

We also made sushi using nori seaweed, sushi rice, avocado, carrot and cucumber.

We had some converts to sushi and a few people who didn't like it very much. Most people had a try though, which was fantastic!

Here we are also trying origami:
