On Monday 20th January the KS 1 team went to the Street Life museum in Hull as a start to our project on Transport.
The day started on an exciting note as we were picked up by a double decker bus. Wow!
It was a great journey and we saw lots of things on the way that we pointed out to the teachers. We went over the Humber Bridge and we could see down the River Humber as we travelled across. We could see some boats in the distance and there were lots of cars travelling over.
At the museum, we were met by Dotty who was a tram inspector. She showed us around the museum and gave us tickets to go on the electric tram. It was over 70 years old and we had to be very careful not to damage it.
She showed us all of the different types of transport and we could see how they had changed over time.
We looked at bikes that didn’t have any pedals and they looked very uncomfortable to ride. Some of the bikes had a metal seat that didn’t look very good at all. We saw a bike with a delivery basket on the front so people could have their shopping delivered.
We went on the engine of a steam train and we could hear the sounds that it made as it travelled along the track.
We saw an aeroplane high in the ceiling. It was a model of the plane that Amelia Earhart made her famous journeys in. It looked very different to the planes that people can travel in now.
We saw cars that looked more like a bike and the driver had to turn a handle on one of the cars to make it go. We saw an old ice-cream van and that was one of the best parts.
We were very tired when we got back to school but it was a fabulous day. Our teachers said that we were amazing and that we were a credit to the school.
