Pupils and parents of Jubilee and Lauriston Primary Schools explored London's cultural delights, and used this website to write about their experience, and share photographs of the city and their life.

Why why why have I never been to watch a Shakespeare play??..  Isn't it a wonderful thing to learn new things about our old English language even at my ripe old age !!!  Well I'm sure  this is the start of something new so thank you ABC.

Written by Maggie and Olivia | 12 February 2010

The morning started great as Olivia and I met up with Zehra and Mel who were already on the  388 bus, we had travelled in good time so we put our cameras to use and had lots of fun taking pictures . Then Mel persuaded me ( he he) to climb up to the huge lion at Trafalga SQ and natually I said yes if she would too !!!! SO WE DID and guess what ????
Your right we couldn't get down. Was just fantastic hearing Zehra and OLivia laughing at their responsible parents.

It was great meeting up with everyone and looking at the portraits although I must say from starting my day laughing and fooling around the pictures left me feeling really sad inside.

Before I go I also would like to thank Madeline, Nic and peter the only man that can really get you around a whole museum in YES 60 seconds. Thank you all had a really interesting day. Maggie.

"I think what i have learnt the most about this project is.......wait for it....is SELF BELIEF. If an artist or anyone, writes, sings, dances or sculpts etc and believes they have done a good job, well thats all that matters....i have doubted myself in the past, lacked believing in myself and what i can achieve....”

"We have decided to take Ryan and Naombh somewhere at least once a month and have figured that with our children its best sometimes just to get on a bus or tube and just see what's going on ,sort of exposing them to the arts accidentally there is so much to see and do"
