Class trip: Riverside Transport Museum Glasgow

Primary 2 have been learning all about transport through the ages this term, we we decided to go on a trip to the Riverside Transport Museum.

There was so much to see, we even spotted one of the first bicycles, the Penny farthing.

We saw lots of old and new bikes, even one used in the Olympics. There were Motorbikes too, some had a sidecar and there was one we could try sitting in. We even spotted Mr Campbell’s favorite car.

There were lots of different types of Transport, we saw a bus that was pulled by horses and got to stand on an old fashioned Bus. “tickets please!”

We even got to try sitting inside, it was quite different to the bus we took to get to the museum.

We sure had a lot of fun.

Next we got to travel on the famous Glasgow underground (well a pretend version).

We got to visit an Old fashioned toy shop filled with Model trains, We crawled through a tunnel to get a closer look at them.

After a lovely picnic lunch outside in the sunshine we went to do a workshop called ‘Powerful Stuff’ all about the ways we can make types of transport move. We all wore Lab coats like proper inventors and engineers! We went around the Museum to learn about the different ways to power types of transport, like steam, electricity and wind. See if you can spot Mr Campbell in a very strange looking bicycle!
