Diary of our Musical Theatre London Trip
By Year 7 students, Sophie Hogan and Aduke Opeyemi.
Day 1: An Exciting Start
The London trip was certainly a trip we will remember. It was full of fun-filled memories that made it such an amazing experience. This was a trip with the choir and the cast of this year’s drama performance, Legally Blonde JR.
The train journey was two and a half hours, and we got to sit in pairs. When we got off the train, we made our way to Marks and Spencer and got ourselves lunch. After that, we had a nice stroll to the park and relaxed while eating lunch – this was very enjoyable as the weather was sunny and fresh. Next, we went for a tour of the British Museum before going back to the hotel to get to know our roommates. For dinner, we went to Pizza Hut, and afterwards bought sweets and watched Back to the Future the Musical at the theatre. We saw the cool effects and the amazing car: the Delorean, made by the scientist, Doc Brown. We absolutely loved the songs, especially “My Myopia”. When we got back, we had lots of fun in our rooms before going to sleep.
Day 2: A Day Full of Activities
Day 2 was the most productive day and the most memorable as well. First, we got ready and went for breakfast – which was a buffet with cereal, drinks, pastries and fruit. Next, we went to a dance workshop. This was very tiring but fun because we did a song from Back to the Future with a professional. After that we had the opportunity to go shopping in Covent Garden, where there were stands and people performing – this tool a while but was very fun. After lunch we went to the London Eye, and during our walk, we saw Big Ben, We also saw a man singing, and it was really nice there as the songs he sang made us dance! There was a tin man there also, who was pretty cool to talk to. On the London Eye we saw both London Bridge and Westminster Bridge – the view was amazing and so pretty – it felt like a dream. When we got off, we walked straight to BYRON, where we ate burgers for dinner. Finally, we went to watch Mrs Doubtfire, which was very funny and the staging was very well planned, so it was very entertaining. We walked back and had another night in our rooms.
Day 3: A Bittersweet Farewell
Day 3 was our final day. We got ready to leave and enjoyed the same breakfast. We also had to tidy up our rooms for a final room check. We then made our way to the British Library and saw many historical books at the exhibition. After that, we went to the train station and bought lunch for the train. The journey was nice and relaxing, and finally, we were home.
In conclusion, the trip was very fun and we would highly recommend going if you want to create memories with your friends.
