Day Five

DAY 5

ACTON DEPOT & WRITING A BOOK

What did we do today?

 

Group 1 spent the morning practising their focusing and concentration skills. We meditated and relaxed ourselves for a whole day full of hard work. After this, we wrote some stories based on the London Underground and on what we learnt from our visitors on Day 4. We managed to finish off our creative writing pieces and we are also in the process of creating a rap. While we were doing this,

 
Group 2 spent the day at Acton Depot, where they interviewed several people there and looked around at the trains on site.

What did we learn?

We've learnt how to correct and identify mistakes in our written pieces. We were also able to build suspense and create interesting and imaginative yet factual stories. Furthermore, we learnt that we should always finish a task once we start it so we've been working hard to complete our written work.
Group 2 learnt a lot about how the tube trains actually work from Bob Bird the curator at Acton Depot.

What did we find most fun and interesting?

We found working together fun as a group as we were able to discuss facts. Sharing our ideas around the room and getting our points across was really helpful in developing our pieces and writing more things on top of our stories. 

At Acton Depot we got to open and close the doors of a real '38 tube stock train and interviewed two current tube workers.
