This workshop is most suitable for Nursery and Reception age children.

We take a playful approach to exploring the station and taking the train.

• Using our immersive environment in North Road Station to safely explore a steam train journey.
• We explore the station, looking at what you need to do before getting on the train.
• We get a ticket that is checked by the Ticket Collector.
• We go to the Refreshment Rooms to role play making a menu and getting a snack.
• We find out how the steam engine works and what the driver and fireman do
• We make our way onto the platform and see the carriages people would travel in and decide what we would need for our trip to the seaside.

This workshop was developed with the early learning goals in mind, and especially oracy.
