London Transport Museum
Posted on 19/10/2023On Tuesday, Harpenden Academy Year 4 class embarked on a fantastic adventure to the London Transport Museum, travelling by both train and underground. This excursion proved to be an excellent opportunity for the children to learn how to navigate the UK railways. Once at the museum, they were able to explore the various exhibits to gain insight into how transport has evolved over the years. The children saw buses, trains, trams and plenty of interesting artefacts that gave us a glimpse into the past.
As the day drew to a close, they participated in a workshop to learn about the experiences of people who moved from the Caribbean to the UK. This was a valuable lesson where they learned about their emotions and the jobs they undertook upon arriving in the country. Since returning to school, the children have been inspired to write story settings and poems to describe the Windrush generation's journey and experience.
Overall, this trip was an enriching experience that allowed them to learn about history in a fun and engaging way.
