Railway Museum

Our Wednesday lunchtime club entered a competition at the national railway museum. For this we designed ten different baubles to be displayed on the christmas tree. They then let us go there along with other schools to view them on the tree. While we were there we took part in a series of events such as two workshops about the rocket to the bullet and also the train for the tracks which we gladly enjoyed. We also got to look around and see all of the amazing trains. We very much enjoyed this experience so thank you Yorkshire education for setting this up.
