Travelling Ted

 

P1G and P1M have been very excited to meet ‘Travelling Ted’ and his Tardis to help them learn about the past.  With Travelling Ted we have enjoyed the Millennium party after he visited us from the year 2000; we even got to see Big Ben strike midnight.  We learned about the Millennium bug and even got to explore the technology from 17 years ago…the boys and girls were shocked to hear that there were no tablets!!!  From the year 2003, Travelling Ted visited us after his last flight on Concorde.  We discovered that the Concorde was the fastest passenger plane and had to cover our ears when we listened to the sonic boom.  More recently, Travelling Ted made a journey a little closer to home; we have been learning about Hill Primary School before we moved to our new campus in 2009.  The children were surprised at the differences between old Hill Primary and Newhill Primary School; however, through our travels we have found some items from old Hill stored away at Newhill…the boys and girls wondered if any of their parents would remember the old school bell?!
