Year 4 visits the National Gallery!

On Wednesday, Year 4 went to the National Gallery. Year 4 were all stimulated to go. They took a train from Hammersmith station to get the line which is the Piccadilly line. It was to Leicester Square. Year 4 where all raring to go inside! When they arrived, the teacher took our jackets and we sat for lunch. After lunch we met a girl called Rachel who was our guide. She showed us famous pictures, painted by Peter Paul Rumbus and Vincent Van Gogh. Everybody’s favourite picture was Vincent Van Gogh’s Sunflowers. After that, we took the train home. THAT WAS OUR DAY AT NATIONAL GALLERY!

Houses of Parliament

On the 1st February ,2011, year 6 went to the Houses of Parliament. We took the bus from Olympia station to Trafalgar Square. It was an adventure to remember. We saw Harrods, Ripley’s Believe It Or Not and we went through Piccadilly Circus. When we got off the bus we had to walk to the Houses of Parliament. We passed the horse guards and Downing Street. Finally, we had arrived at the Houses of Parliament. Everybody had to go through security. After that, we split up in groups and explored. Our tour guide, Will, took us down this big tunnel and we ended up in the Houses of Commons. It was all green. Nobody was allowed to sit on the chairs. After that we went to the House of Lords. Everybody gasped as it was so luxurious. Again, we weren’t allowed to sit on the chairs. The Queens chair was plated with gold. Did you know that a long time ago Micheal Jackson wanted to buy the Queens chair but they said no. when he went back to America they made him a thrown. After that we had a workshop everybody loved it and finally it was time to go. THAT WAS OUR TIME AT THE HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT!! We had lots of fun.

Goodbye Primary School !!!!!

I have been visiting secondary schools in Hammersmith and Fulham because I have been preparing to leave primary school and go out to big school. My first choice for a secondary school is Hammersmith Academy. It is a brand new school and has a brand new building. It will open this year when year 6’s move on to secondary school. I went for a test for the school. Before the test I was nervous but there was nothing to worry about. The test was easy. It was a non-verbal reasoning test. Before the test at home I was using practise non-verbal reasoning tests. I can’t wait until the 1st of March because that is when I will find out if I got in. I also applied for Chiswick Community school but it has no test. Chiswick has a waiting list but I think I have a big chance of getting in because my brother is there. The last school I applied for was West London Free school. It is also a brand new school but it has no test.

Choosing Secondary Schools

Year 6 students have began thinking about their futures and what schools they will be attending in September. When I went to the new secondary schools I was so scared but I soon got used to being there. I have applied for Chiswick and Holland Park. I really want to go to Holland Park because it has big rooms and a great art room. They are changing the whole building and they gave us all pictures of the new building. I did the art aptitude and we had to draw a picture of the Weeping Woman from Pablo Picasso. I didn’t prefer Chiswick as much because it had small classes and a separate playground for the new year 7’s which I don’t really like but otherwise it is great. At Holland park, we had to study non verbal reasoning and verbal reasoning which is easy to me. At Chiswick, there is a waiting list but I think I will get in easily because my brother is there.
