Today, children from Year 3 and 4 visited the nearby Clifton Suspension Bridge before traveling down into the city to walk around the SS Great Britain as part of their ‘Brunel Day’.
As part of their learning about Bristol during the Victorian period of History, Year 3 and 4 have been focussing on Brunel, a famous Victorian engineer who was responsible for designing and building both the suspension bridge and the SS Great Britain.
The day started with an early morning walk across the Clifton Suspension Bridge, where everyone marveled at the views of Bristol. Later on, everyone visited the SS Great Britain, an iron steam ship that is now a museum in the harbour in Bristol.
Photographs of the school trip can be found on our gallery page here.
