London

Yesterday we went to London to see a play. The play tickets were one of my sister’s birthday presents. We took a subway to Charing Cross, one of the subway stops, and we hopped off. We were walking toward the theatre when we passed Trafalgar Square. I found out the square used to be called Charing Cross and that is why the subway is called Charing Cross. Trafalgar Square is also the biggest and most famous square in London. We looked out over the buildings and we saw Big Ben. Big Ben is a big clock tower in London. It is 96.3 meters tall. No wonder it is called Big Ben! After getting a few pictures we went on to the show. The show we went to was Matilda. Matilda was first a book written by Roald Dahl. Roald Dahl has also written The BFG and The Chocolate Factory. When we got there we were met with all kinds of sayings on the wall. There were chalkboards hanging on the wall that were part of the set. Some were nice like “my mommy said I am a miracle” and others were mean like “children are maggots!” After the play started we learned that all the phrases were used multiple times in songs for the musical. By the end I could not stop laughing. It was a very good show. Children aren’t maggots!
