It’s reading week! Yay! Last term, I went on my great northern adventure to Edinburgh. I’m sure you all remember it well! Yes? Okay good! If not check out the first post here X. This term, I actually have three meetings in London so going off was not really an option. Instead I… Read More Kings, Courtiers & Gardens
In Amsterdam, there is a very big park area called the Museumplein. Along its edges are the Van Gogh Museum, the Modern Art Museum and the Rijksmuseum. We decided to visit the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum (it’s got the fancy old art from the middle ages on and stuff). The Van Gogh… Read More The Museumplein
Mum, Pater and I are visiting Amsterdam! They’ve got some friends here so it’s worked out beautifully. It’s a gorgeous city with lots of canals and bridges. Some of the holiday decorations are still up and it’s a little magical at night. After getting to our hotel we decided to take a walk. Any guess… Read More Amsterdam Adventures
Mum and I managed to visit the Museum of London! Pater had to work unfortunately. He really missed out. We ended up taking a double-decker bus there which was fun. I’m usually one of the mole people and stay underground. The light was blinding and my night vision will never be the same. … Read More London through the Ages

So its pretty cool due to the history of the space and its theme. Naturally, the chapel is the focus… Read More The Geffrye

School Field Trip number two! We got to tour around with a Museum Architecture expert! It was pretty darn amazing. The museum is massive (as expected). We entered just as they opened and it felt like walking into Notre Dame or something. I was expecting some angels or a choir to start singing. … Read More Natural Histories
My programme takes us on field-trips! For the first one we went down south. It was pretty sweet! For our first stop we went to the set of a Dickens/ Bronte film. I honestly expected Cathy to call out for Heathcliffe somewhere (though that would only happen in the North, not here in the… Read More BBC Masterpiece Theatre
