Year 2 Visits

October 18, 2012
Our Year 2 children are becoming seasoned Tube travellers after two exiting visits in as many weeks. On 8th October we saw how the vehicles we were making in DT with Mrs Ward compared to the real thing at the London Transport Museum. We experienced what it would be like to drive buses and Tube trains then looked at horse-drawn transport and trolleybuses powered by electricity. We travelled through a time tunnel into the past and took a ride on the 'padded cell' train; Gabriel and Jude even became station announcers!

The following Monday we were treated to a musical performance of Igor, The Bird Who Couldn't Sing by the London Symphony Orchestra at The Barbican. We sang two songs with other schools in the audience and were shown how many interesting and unusual sounds the instruments in the orchestra can make. The flutes sounded just like birds singing!
