Bradford Industrial Museum

Let’s Explore Transport

Learners go on their own transport journey throughout the museum using maps, role play, and our amazing transport collection.  They develop noticing and drawing skills whilst recording different modes of transport including a full size train and a range of vehicles made in Bradford by the Jowett family.

They work individually and in groups to make a collaborative map including drawing and text to take back to school.

Learners can also visit our Tram Shed before or after the workshop to see one of Bradford’s last trams and a trolleybus plus a range of carriages outside.

Book teacher led add-on activities that link to this workshop, creating a whole day package.
