Year 2 trip to the Orbit

22 Nov 2023

Trip to the Orbit

On Monday, we went to visit The Orbit in the Olympic Park. This half term, we're learning about London and also studying the artist, Stephen Wiltshire. His main focus for his art is drawing cityscapes. So what better way to learn about both, than to see London from above.

The children went on a walk around the Olympic Park to identify physical and human features. They loved exploring new areas of the park and discovering the sheer size of some of the buildings.

The children then enjoyed their lunch and went up the Orbit. Some were nervous being so high up, but many were in awe of the view. They all found a space with a view and drew their own cityscape. We definitely have a few artisit amongst us!

Theon - It was very tall and hot and pretty scary, it was almost 100 miles tall! It was cool! Siah-Quan - It was a big, high slide and it was hot upstairs. We looked out the window and we were in a skyscraper and it looked like there was 25 floors. Regan - I liked seeing all of London from the top Rafael - The orbit is so huge, we drew some pictures of London on big paper. Muhammad - It was a good day! Kevin - It had a cool slide and really high up!
