In year 1, we have been learning all about George Stephenson and his fantastic inventions. His engineering led to a big change in how people travelled around the UK.
Yesterday, we visited Telford Steam Train.
We looked at steam train from 1941 and compared it to a newer diesel engine from the 1960s (which turned out to be slower than the steam train!).
Next, we had lots of fun at the station. We LOVED the winter wonderland where we had the BEST snowball fight EVER!!
Then, we explored the smallest railway we had ever seen. The tiny trains were really fast.
At last, we enjoyed a biscuit and a drink in a cosy café.
Thank you so much to the wonderful volunteers. You really made our day and brought big smiles to all of our little faces!
