Manchester Science and Industry Museum

Lesson: History

Class: Year 2 Year: 2025 - 2026

This week Year 2 visited MOSI (Manchester Science and Industry Museum). 

As we are learning about the Manchester to Liverpool Railway we travelled by train changing at Manchester Piccadilly to the Museum. The children were very sensible as we walked from one platform to the other. 

We then walked to the Museum and stood where the first train station in Manchester once was. Once in the museum the children had great fun watching the revolution show, seeing a model of the Rocket (the steam train that won the Rainhill trials), exploying the experiment gallery and learning about the senses during the interactive workshop 'Ouch'. 

On our return we caught the tram and then the train home. We had a fantastic day!
