This post is written by Owl about his trip to London last week.
Granny came to collect me and we went on four trains. We arrived at Bethnal Green station and walked to the museum. It was very windy outside and we were nearly blown over. In the museum, there were two puppet theatres and I did a puppet show. There were also some very big dolls’ houses. Some were built in cupboards, and were so big that they were mainly used for display. It would have been hard to play with them as they were so high up.
When we went out it was not so windy. We got the train back to Stratford and went to the Lego shop. I thought the Lego shop would be outside on its own but it was actually inside the shopping centre. It was a long walk to the Lego shop. When we got there, it was quite impressive. There were computers, a pick-a-brick section and an area where you could build your own minifigures. I built three minifigures and we bought them. We also bought a small box of pick-a-brick. (Pick-a-brick is where you buy your own selection of Lego bricks. It also has a bigger range of bricks on the computer.)
We bought pizza in M&S and went home to the flat for supper with Grandpa. I found it hard to sleep but I did in the end. In the morning, we listened to Grandpa’s CD of a Roman poem, “Horatius held the bridge.” Then Grandpa went to work. Later, Granny and I went to the Museum of Transport. We saw lots of old carts and trains. There was also a trail where you had to find 13 posts with stampers on them and stamp the card you were given. There was a map on the back showing the locations of the posts. Then we went home on the train, by a different route.
