On Tuesday a large bus of very excited P4 children and made our way to the Transport Museum in Cultra. This was the culmination of our WAU topic on Journeys. We enjoyed the fact that we could climb over the massive engines, spend time in the cab and look at how they were designed in an age of steam. We learned a lot about the materials they were made from. We compared old buses and fire engines to transport today and really enjoyed Titanica where we saw artefacts from White Star Line Company. We enjoyed our group scavenger hunts throughout the museum, where we found different items as part of the Titanic story. For some children this was their favourite part. Next we made our way to the cars through the ages. We observed sports cars from years gone by and even spotted a De Lorean from "Back to the Future" famously produced in our little country! We even found the oldest car in the museum built in 1911. FInally we went through the museum of flight with replicas of the Wright FLyer! A great time was had by all!
