Caterpillar’s Wow Adventure On Monday 9th January the Caterpillar class went on their class trip to Runway Visitor Park, Manchester. We used a variety of different public transport methods, including; a bus, train and taxi. The children absolutely loved the whole day, especially sitting in the cockpit of an old plane, pretending to be the pilot. They used fantastic listening skills and remembered the importance of keeping themselves and others safe. All of the adults were very proud of them. We are now very excited to continue with our new theme - Planes, trains and automobiles. Please see the Caterpillars class page on the website for lots more photographs.
