On Monday 23rd May, Class 6 went on a trip to watch a special performance by the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall. We left school and got the underground to the South Bank. When we were walking there we saw the London Eye and Big Ben (which is part of the Houses of Parliament). We also crossed the Millennium Bridge and saw Westminster Abbey and the River Thames.
When we went inside the Hall we saw lots of musical instruments including harps, double basses, cello and violins. The musicians played various different pieces of music and we all participated in a song called Troll Song. It was part of a story relating to a piece of music about Peer Gynt by Edvard Grieg.
After the concert finished we sat outside along the South Bank and had a picnic. It was a lovely sunny day. Once we had finished our lunch, we were able to play for a little while; the day was unbelievably fun!
My favourite instrument was a harp because it made different tones. I also like it when we sang In the Hall of the Mountain King and Troll Song.
