With great anticipation the students enter the time code into the control panel. The doors hiss shut, the present vanishes and history starts to change before their eyes.

“It was wonderful and the children left totally buzzing and desperate to share everything with their families. It was such an amazing piece of learning, and Brunel was just fantastic!,” Jane Robinson year 2 teacher.
