MrsL Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Has anyone got any brilliant ideas for a school tip for Reception children linked to a topic on transport? We really wanted to go to the airport but they don't do trips for children under 6 Very disappointed by this as I was really excited about it, and now can't think of anywhere as good!! Any inspiration?
sunnyday Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Do you have a 'Transport museum' anywhere nearby? Probably not or you would have thought of it!!! Could you catch a bus somewhere - my grandchildren have never 'caught a bus' something I've been meaning to do with them! Hmmmm...........will keep thinking........
Rufus Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 We caught a bus to the village which the children loved, most had never been on public transport before. You could catch a bus to the train station. Go on a barge trip. we have the great Central railway nearby which is always a good trip.
Guest Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Why don't you go on a train ride? Under 5's travel for free which makes it a cheap trip! All we had to buy was cheap day return tickets. We took 40 children and 10 adults last term and it only cost about £50 all in! After splitting the cost between the children it was a very cheap and very memorable day out! Vicki
Susan Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Some good ideas already and nothing really that I can add to, are you near a heritage railway centre perhaps?
Guest Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Are you anywhere near a space centre? I think there might be one in Notts somewhere. Or how about one of those small airfields, they might be willing for you to visit. Good luck!
MrsL Posted October 7, 2009 Author Posted October 7, 2009 Thanks everyone, some good ideas for me to look into!
sunnyday Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Thanks everyone, some good ideas for me to look into! Do let us know what you decide on!
MrsL Posted October 7, 2009 Author Posted October 7, 2009 Will do! Just need to talk with the rest of my team.
Guest Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Last year our reception did transport and went o Manchester Airport. They do a specific school's trip and they even got to have a peek at Concord. They came back buzzing. Sarah x
MrsL Posted October 7, 2009 Author Posted October 7, 2009 Thats exactly what we want to do Sarahjane! But no airports near to us will have us!
