The children have had a wonderful first day taking in Windsor Castle and The London Eye.

Just prior to The Eye we had a superb tea in the hotel and it must be said that the children were well catered for in the Shannon Suite ... normally we eat in the restaurant but the hotel have given us a separate dining area which keeps us together and safe.

The weather has been mixed today but we've coped well with just one heavy shower in Windsor.

Thank you to Mrs Fitzpatrick, back in Waringstown for all her organisational skills in booking every aspect of the Field Trip. Today was seamless!

Thank you too to Mr John Egerton for this wonderful blog facility on our school website. As usual, he's been amazing.

Keep the messages coming in as we're reading them out on the bus. A tremendous facility which affirms the children whilst we are away from home.

There may be time tonight for a few home phone calls once we get back to the hotel. EVERYONE is in good health and fine form of a little tired.

Goodnight from London on night one.
