Our Year 2 trip into Leeds city centre was a fun-filled day packed with discovery and creativity! We began in City Square and made our way to the Civic Hall, where the children sketched the impressive building and spotted the golden owls perched high above its entrance — a proud symbol of Leeds. As we walked through the city, we took time to compare old and new buildings, noticing the differences in design, materials, and size. The children were fascinated by how modern glass structures stood alongside older stone buildings, showing how the city has changed over time. We stopped to see the gold post box dedicated to local Olympic champion Nicola Adams, before strolling through the busy Trinity shopping centre. Lunchtime was spent at Kirkgate Market, where we soaked up the atmosphere of one of the oldest markets in the country. Afterward, we visited the beautiful Corn Exchange and admired its curved architecture. Our final stop was the Royal Armouries before catching the coach back to school — tired but full of excitement after a brilliant day out. A big thank you to all the volunteers who helped on the day!
