On Tuesday afternoon we went to the Quayside as part of our Humanities topic. We were looking at different landmarks, statues and bridges around our city. We had a clipboard each and we had to see which ones we could spot. The first landmark we spotted on our way to The Baltic was the Tyne Bridge as we drove over it.

Once we got to The Baltic we went to the viewing box at the top to see what else we could see. Everyone had so much fun looking out over the River Tyne and spotting the different bridges, like the Swing Bridge which we actually drove back over on our way back to school. We also spotted The Sage and there were people on top of it!  We found it very funny at the top because everyone on the ground looked like little toy people, with little toy cars.

When we got back to the ground we had a walk across the Millennium Bridge. There are so many amazing things to see around Newcastle. We may go out again and look at the other landmarks in Newcastle such as, Grey’s Monument, Castle Keep, Eldon Square and the Civic Centre. We will continue to work on ‘What I can see when I visit Newcastle City?’
