The National Railway Museum
On Wednesday, we had a fantastic time at The National Railway Museum. We were so excited to go on on our first ever school trip – especially travelling by coach! All the grown ups were super impressed with how well-behaved the children were. Well done, Reception class.
We enjoyed looking at different trains and making comparisons of old and new. We had lots of fun watching the miniature railway and it led to lots of great discussions about trains, tunnels and transport. We even played a game of spotting Mrs Kendrew and Mrs Rippon at the miniature station! We also had fun sitting on the Japanese Bullet train.
To end our wonderful visit, we drew our favourite train of the day!
The Hundred Decker Rocket
We’ve been reading The Hundred Decker Rocket, by Mike Smith.
The story inspired lots of discussion around keeping our planet clean and why this is important.
In our writing, we designed our very own rocket deck that we will be making next week- this is where we need your help…
Please send your child into school with an empty shoebox next week. The children will be creating their very own deck, based on their designs.
Have a happy and healthy week and thank you as always for your support.
Mrs. Kendrew, Mrs. Rippon, Mrs. Small and Mr. Smith
