Making their way back North with an exciting stop at Harry Potter Studios! 🪄 🌟
After another fab breakfast, we have set off for Harry Potter Studios. Bye bye London 😊🇬🇧@Elder_Sankey
Just been in touch with Mrs Williams and she said the children have loved the show. They’re on their way back to the hostel for a good night’s sleep (hopefully!). 🤞🏻 😴
Well that was just incredible #matilda
We are on the way back to our hostel after an amazing (and very warm!) day

Having our own set of Class VR headsets has really helped to enrich our curriculum. Last week @pinetreeclass were diving the oceans like Jacques Cousteau as part of their English text, this week they’re in the trenches to experience a taste of a soldier in WW2.
Y5 enjoyed experiencing the trenches of WW2 yesterday within their session with the VR headsets @OakClass_Sankey
The paddling pool was out in our nursery today! 💦
Having a lovely cool in the warm weather. It may have been raining too… or was that Mrs Mayers spraying us? 🤔☺️😂
Lots of happy little faces there helping to prepare the food. Maybe a few chefs in the making? 🧑🍳
This afternoon we have been learning how to safely prepare fruit. We had to prepare the area and ensure we were all clean first then we had a go at peeling and chopping 🍌🔪😋 #greatsankeydt
Such a brilliant show and even better seeing it in the West End.
Enjoy every second Year 6. ♥️
Ready for our final activity of the day 😁 @OakClass_Sankey
I wonder if the King was at home?! 👑
Buckingham Palace 👑 @OakClass_Sankey
Wonderful opportunity for our young people, huge thanks to @TCATchallenge and @TCAT_SportPlus for organising!!!
A well-deserved rest for our little explorers.
Quick rest break in the shade in St James’ Park before we hit Buckingham Palace. 🇬🇧@Elder_Sankey
Wow! How lucky they are to see the beautiful poppies at The Tower to mark VE Day.
Having a much needed break in the shade next to the beautiful ceramic poppy display ☀️ ❤️
A highlight of the trip is a cruise on the Thames. Bet the breeze is lovely!
All aboard for a cruise down the Thames! @Elder_Sankey
What a stunning view of Tower Bridge.
A few pics in front of Tower Bridge before we enter the Tower of London @OakClass_Sankey
That’s one way to cool down! ⛲️ 💦 😂
They’re on their way to the YHA now. I wonder what time they’ll fall asleep…?! 😴
They’ve all had a great first day and the staff say the children have been a pleasure.
Quick visit to the M&M shop before we head to the youth hostel @Elder_Sankey
