Taking inspiration from the book ‘Faster, Faster Little Red Train!’ By Benedict Blathwayt, we take a playful approach to exploring the station and taking the train.

We share the story together and then take part in a carousel of activities as smaller groups.

• Sequencing and story maps – what happened in the story? Can you remember what happens next?
• Role play buying a ticket, having a snack and getting to the correct platform, whilst exploring these areas of North Road Station.
• Exploring and finding key features on our old engines and carriages, dressing up and handling objects.

This workshop was developed with the early learning goals in mind.
