The visit related to our topic of Around the world in 80 days where we looked at the history of transport and the people who pioneered it. We listened to a talk about how steam engines worked, looked around the exhibits and engine parts as well as seeing inside a steam train. We spend quite some time in the air and space hall which gave the children time to draw their favourite form of transport as well as talking to some of the men who look after the vehicles in the museum. ### Birkacre pics 1 [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/4062/museum_visit_027.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/4062/museum_visit_027.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/4062/museum_visit_028.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/gallery/4062/museum_visit_028.JPG) [ Exciting news!](https://stjosephschorley.co.uk/blog/2015-10-19-12-20-49-exciting-news) [Birkacre Work Out ](https://stjosephschorley.co.uk/blog/2015-10-19-12-34-15-birkacre-work-out) ![St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-josephs-chorley/images/logo/1200250668080298.137XSqlECvZ07rj3bGkr_height640_(6).png) #### St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School Cedar Road Chorley PR6 0JF 01257 265998 01257 233107 © Copyright 2015–2026 St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stjosephschorley.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
