Day One

DAY 1: MUSEUM VISIT

Where did we go?

We went to The London Transport Museum in Covent Garden where we went to study the history of The London Underground for our film 'GOING UNDERGROUND'.

What did we do at the museum and what did we learn?

First, we watched and then performed dramas based on the history and stories from The London Underground. After that, we watched a 15 minute clip of the London Underground history and learnt about the purpose of the Underground during events such as the First and Second World Wars. We also compared the old steam trains from 150 years ago with our modern day electric trains and had the chance to actually sit in one of the old trains.

What did we find fun and interesting from our visit?

Learning new things that we didn't know before our visit to the London Transport Museum was really interesting and fun. Things we didn't previously know really helped us learn about life during the 150 years of London transport. We had fun searching the museum for the answers to questions we were given, which allowed us to explore the museum and read new facts. Exploring the museum was one of the best aspects of the visit and going on the buses and trains was a really good experience. All in all, it was a really fun visit and really helped us to gain more knowledge of the history of the London Underground.
