Pt 2: Royal Greenwich Museums - The Queen's House

Hey there, fellow explorers! It's Kadii Hamilton here, sharing part two of our exciting journey in exploring London and today we explored to the Queen's House on this wonderfully warm day. This visit was all about discovering the fascinating world of time and how it shapes our lives.

The Queen's House is a beautiful place, and as soon as we arrived, we felt like we were stepping into a world of history and elegance. The architecture was stunning, and each room seemed to tell its own story. We couldn't wait to explore and learn more!

Our adventure was filled with surprises as we delved into the concept of time. We learned about how people have measured time throughout history, from ancient sundials to the precise clocks we use today. It was astonishing to see how serious people take 'time' as a subject and the debates about whether to call it GMT or something else related to Britain.

Standing in the line of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) was a highlight. It was incredible to think that this line represents the starting point for measuring time across the world. The view from up there was breathtaking, and it made us feel like we were standing at the centre of time itself!

Inside the Queen's House, we found stunning artworks that explored the theme of time.

Each painting captured a moment in history, preserving memories for future generations. It was like seeing time frozen in art, and it made us appreciate the beauty and complexity of the world.

Our visit inspired us to think deeply about the role of time in our lives. We realised that time is a precious resource, and how we choose to spend it can shape our future. It reminded us of the importance of balancing our time between learning, creating, and enjoying the moments that matter most.

After exploring the Queen's House, we embarked on a voyage up the secret hill from the back of the Queen's House up to the planetarium. It was a steep journey to undertake on a hot day, there were people who gave up, but we made up! There, we learned even more about time and space, and how they are interconnected. The planetarium was like a gateway to the universe, and it sparked our imaginations with endless possibilities.

As we left the Queen's House and planetarium, we couldn't help but imagine what the future holds. Understanding time helps us plan and dream about the adventures yet to come. It's like having a map that guides us on our journey, showing us the possibilities that lie ahead.

By the end of the day, we felt a mix of excitement and reflection. The wonders of time had opened our eyes to new ideas, and we couldn't wait to share them with you. We ended our adventure with our favourite Wasabi sushi, feeling grateful for the experiences and eager for more.
