At Blewbury School we work hard on our creative curriculum to give the children a ‘hands on’ education. We find the children are more engaged and motivated by this approach to learning. To this end we decided to focus half a term to a whole school theme based on transport. As well as trips to Beaulieu Motor Museum and the Coventry Transport Museum the whole school made moving vehicles. These were exhibited for parents and showed fantastic progression throughout the school as well as a lot of imagination and creativity. As a grand finale we held a transport festival with a large array of vehicles on the school field/car park for the children to look at closely, draw and even sit in. The older children interviewed the owners while the younger children loved the police car siren! We had everything from a JCB, cement mixer and tractor to motorbikes, camper vans and vintage cars including a Rolls Royce. The whole afternoon was great fun and a huge amount was learnt and experienced. Our thanks go to all the willing lenders of those vehicles.
