Richmond House School - Leeds


The London Trip click on any photo to enlarge Friday 1st February We arrived at school all excited and happy to be away from our parents for a while. We set off for London with a long journey ahead of us. Most people were excited to get to the service station to have some food because we were all hungry. We arrived at London at 2.15 p.m. and headed straight for the National History Museum where we ate our packed lunches. We then split up into our groups to look at all the exhibits. We visited the dinosaurs (raagh!)..the diamonds (a girl's best friend) and of course.... the shop. We all had to rush to the coach otherwise we would have missed our slot at bowling near the hotel. We went to the hotel and had our tea, dropped our bags in our rooms and left. We had some very good bowlers (Mr Oldham) and some okay bowlers (Mrs Blackie) and some not very good bowlers (Miss Lloyd). When we got back to the hotel we all went to bed. Saturday 2nd February With an early start on a cold day, wrapped up warm and ready to go , we set off for Hyde Park. Miss Lloyd told us about 'speaker's corner' and how people shouted their beliefs. Then we had some free time to run around and play. As we walked through the park we managed to see the Royal Household Guards - they looked fantastic! After that we went for a short river cruise on the Thames and had our packed lunch. YUM! Following on we went on the London Eye - that was amazing! Afterwards we went to Pizza Hut before going to see......the hills are alive with the sound of music......The Sound of Music. It was great. We had a fabulous day and were ready for some serious sleep. Sunday 3rd February We dragged ourselves out of bed and ate a hearty breakfast before going back to London to the Aquarium. After looking at a very wet exhibition we set off on our journey home. We were met with a friendly greeting from Mrs Godsave and our parents. Thank you to Miss Lloyd for organising such a great weekend.

Friday 1st February

We arrived at school all excited and happy to be away from our parents for a
