Rail 200 Celebrations: Heritage Trust Learning Packs are published!

The West Somerset Railway Heritage Trust is delighted to announce that our in-house Learning Officer, Helen Anson, has developed exciting new Learning Packs for children. These engaging resources are designed to inspire young minds by exploring the history, science, and engineering behind the Broad Gauge railway and its impact on the world of rail travel.

📚 Designed for KS1 and KS2, our free Learning Packs offer interactive STEM-based activities, historical insights, and fun challenges, helping students investigate the innovations of Brunel and the golden age of steam. Perfect for schools, home learning, and railway enthusiasts of all ages!

🏫 Teachers can access these downloadable lesson plans, PowerPoints, and activity sheets through our website. Simply visit www.wsrht.co.uk, explore the Learning section, or head to The School Programme page to find resources tailored to each Key Stage.

🚂 Bring the magic of railway history into the classroom and inspire the next generation of engineers, historians, and railway enthusiasts! ✨
