This week, pupils in Year 1 were provided with the wonderful opportunity to visit the London Transport Museum as an exciting way to start their new topic ‘Where do, and did, the wheels on the bus go?’

During the day, the children had the opportunity to experience one of the museum’s education sessions ‘Platform Promenade’ where role-play and interactive models brought transport and related topics to life. They also had the chance to visit the ‘hands-on’ galleries where they were able to explore the various methods of transport used in London from past to present, which boosted their understanding of chronology and historical enquiry. Ahaan, 1H, commented, “I really enjoyed looking at all the different old buses and sitting on an old tube train.” Anoushka, 1H added, “I liked going through the tunnel to go back in time to see what transport was like over 100 years ago.”

Miss Whaley and the Year 1 Team would like to say a huge thank you to all the parents who gave up their own time to accompany the children on this trip and contributed to making it such a great success.
