Year 5 Visit Romford Market

 Year 5 Visit Romford Market 

Today, Year 5 had another successful school trip to Romford Market. This term we have been completing a local area study about Romford's history and how various events have impacted the daily lives of people living there today. 

The children walked around the market and compared it to pictures and drawings they had seen of the market when it was originally created in 1247 and since then. They used excellent reflective skills. 

“It was so interesting seeing how much has changed from when Romford market first started.” Mahdi, Lime

In addition to visiting the market, Year 5 also visited a bank as part of their Broadford experiences. They learnt where you had to go to pay money in and how you use the machines.

I recognise the St Edwards church from the old black and white pictures we were looking at!" - Anushri, Oak

“ It looked very different to the black and white pictures we saw. “ Victoria, Almond
