On Monday, year 6 visited London as part of their curriculum learning on democracy and government,  and World War II.  Their initial visit to the House of Parliament where they learned about the difference between the House of Lords and House of Commons whilst exploring the interior of the famous building, was followed up with a tour of the Churchill War Rooms.

Insightful guides helped the children to understand who the many statues were of previous prime ministers and what they were famous for whilst pointing out several key members of parliament who were around in preparation for question time later in the day.  The children could actually see into the House of Commons too. 

Each child had their own electronic guide at the Churchill War Rooms which was a really immersive experience amongst the narrow, dark corridors and rooms used to co-ordinate the allied war effort over nearly 90 years ago.  The map rooms were fascinating and the children enjoyed seeing where Winston Churchill himself slept.  

The children were a huge credit to their teachers, families and school, as a whole, as their values were always on show throughout.  Thank you to Mr Hobday and the rest of the year 6 team for organising such a memorable and purposeful learning experience.
