We discussed the various London landmarks we knew. We then drew the outline of a landmark before gluing it onto white paper. Using chalk pastels, we created a layered background to show the sun setting behind our landmark.

We went on a boat ride on the Thames Clipper to look at some of London’s amazing landmarks. We saw the Thames Barrier, 02, Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, the London Eye, Big Ben and the houses of Parliament. We even went on the Cable Cars on the way back to school.
We used our learning of the London landmarks to plan our designs of our clay models. We manipulated the clay until it was shaped to create landmarks such as: The Shard, Elizabeth Tower, The O2 & Tower of London.

In History we learnt about the history of Tower Bridge. We looked at when Tower Bridge was built and why it has become such an important landmark of London today. We also learnt how the bridge functions and what different key events in the past have involved Tower Bridge. In groups, we created a drawing of Tower Bridge and rehearsed one fact each, which we then presented in front of the class.

We went on an educational visit to Tower bridge. We travelled via DLR and could see some landmarks on our way. When we got to Tower Bridge we learnt some more facts about the bridge and even had the chance to walk across the glass floor!
