11 February 2014  ~ Year 6 Visit the Globe Theatre and the Museum of London - 6J's Day

                   

On 11 February 2013 6J set off for the Globe Theatre and the Museum of London. First stop, West Ruislip Station, the Central Line, and St Paul's 
- where the Cathedral steps offered a photo opportunity.

Across the road, just before the Millennium Bridge, we paused again!

Once inside the Globe Theatre we sat in the gallery 
to listen to a description of the theatre 
and how it was used in Shakespeare's day.

 Then we looked at the museum section with Tudor costumes 
and other things to show with how plays were performed over 400 years ago. 

 We then set off back across the Millennium Bridge 
and headed towards The Museum of London.

Once we'd had lunch we set off to explore the galleries, 
with information to find to support our current project - Britain Since 1930. 

 Ah, 'Watch With Mother' - 'Andy Pandy' and 'The Flowerpot Men'...
bet Mr Rutter remembers watching this!

Before we leave the museum we take a look at 
the Lord Mayor of London's State Coach.
