Autumn 2
Year 1 had a fantastic time on their trip to Stockwood Discovery Centre! The visit linked perfectly to their History topic this half term, Transport. The children explored a fascinating collection of vehicles from the past and took part in an engaging workshop where they listened to a story about a boy who travelled from Luton to Liverpool. They discussed the different modes of transport he could use and how long each journey would take.
The children especially enjoyed comparing vehicles from the past to the modern cars they see today. They were amazed at how much transport has changed over time. It was a wonderful day full of learning, discovery, and fun.
Autumn 1
As part of our Geography topic this half term, we have been following the story The Naughty Bus. We learned about aerial (or bird’s-eye) views and used maps to follow different routes. We even got to travel in our mini buses around our local area to identify local landmarks such as Luton and Dunstable Hospital, the local library, Leagrave Train Station, and our personal favourite — McDonald’s! We also carried out a traffic survey, where we tallied how many different coloured cars passed our school during a short period of time. It was such a fun afternoon!
