Following the Planning Your Journey and Staying Safe classroom workshop your Year 6 pupils can visit their local train station and take a free return trip on a train (usually to the next station). Please allow several hours for this visit which will include four or five activities including:
• a platform visit (with a reminder on safety on the railways)
• buying a ticket from a machine
• a station inspection activity
• a station quiz
The train ride could be used to deliver other areas of your curriculum (e.g. schools have used the train ride as part of an Evacuation Day experience).
‘Take a trip on a train’ is an activity in the Department for Education’s Year 6 Activity Passport
