Students in Year 5-6 S have explained what their favourite form of transport is. This activity was part of our research for the Term 3 Theme: Transport and Communication.

Airplanes are our Favourite Form of Transport.

Planes use the least litres of fuel per person and they have the least crashes of any transportation. In planes you can get a really good view of the earth by looking out the windows. Sometimes planes can be peaceful and then you can read a book. Planes are the best type of transport in our opinion because you just have to pay and then nothing else. In planes you have a choice of where you sit. At night if you are on a plane you see all the lights from the sky. The food served is really nice.

Bikes are the Best form of Transport!

I am certain that bikes are the best form of transport because you can ride the bike all around and it is a really good type of transport.  You can go to the park and ride all around the footpaths which is interesting, enjoyable and it is also good for you. Riding a bike is a great way to exercise; you can do a lot of foot and leg work and you use your hands to steer the bike, but it is important to wear head protection and maybe even knee pads too.

Boats are the Best form of Transport.

While you travel on a boat you get to admire the scenery around the boat. Cruising on a boat is a good way to have a vacation, because you can spot animals and go in a smaller boat to be a bit closer and see them in the wild. Sometimes you take your car on the boat, which means that you don’t need to spend money hiring one. Boats also can have games and activities that you can enjoy. Some boats have things you can enjoy day and night with or without kids. You can have a nice family holiday and spend a lot of time together. It is a safe way to travel because the people organising the boat are ready for any emergency. Boats can carry supplies to and from other countries. If you’re on a boat for a long trip they have beds and couches so you can relax…  YOU CAN BE A MERMAID IN THE WATER YA!

Car Transport is the Best!

Cars are the best because they’re easy to park and stop. There is a lot of storage in the boot. There are so many speeds you can go in a car. The car that you buy is normally comfortable to drive. There are many different styles that you can chose from a Ford to a Koenigsegg. You can even take them overseas on a ferry and a plane. You can get sports cars and sometimes on a sports car the doors can fold up.

The Motorbike is the best Form of Transport!

I think motorbike is the best, because you do not have to put your foot down to accelerate the vehicle. It is easy to maintain and service a motorbike, you just have to put water and petrol in. Easy! Motorbikes can take you places fast and efficiently, there are many types of motorbikes; there are bikes with handle bars really high, dirt bikes and even bikes with four wheels. People use motorbikes for stunting and doing tricks like in the circus, “The Dome”.

The Off-Road Buggy is the best form of transport.

You can floor the off-road buggy so it can go really fast and you can go off road and you can go through mud, over hills and through bushes. You can race people and do skids and burnouts. Some off-road buggies have winches, so when you get bogged you can pull yourself out. Some off-road buggies have four wheel drive so you can get up hills easily and quickly. They also have about six gears and big wheels (which are called muddies).

Scooters are the Best Form of Transport.

When riding a scooter you can do cool tricks such as a tailwhip, back flips and grinds. It gets you places efficiently. The scooter is a thing with wheels and a metal frame with handles deck tape. Scooters come in different shapes, sizes and colours. You can do things on a scooter that you can’t do on bikes. They also go really fast and are easy to stop. The ride on a scooter is very smooth.

The School Bus is the Best Form of Transport.

I think that school bus is the best way to get from one place to another, because you can relax, sit back and enjoy the trip.  They are safe and not dirty. You can chat on the school bus, you can meet new kids and be friends with them. On the school bus you can get your homework done so you do not have to do it a home or you can have a bit of a sleep.

Trains are is the Best Transport!

Trains are awesome because they go at lightning speed. Trains don’t have seat belts so it’s easier to move around. You can go to the toilet on the train. You don’t have to drive and you’re never stuck in traffic. There is more space to put your things. During a train ride you can interact with people and make new friends. On trains you can see many lovely views. On some trains you can get free food and not have to bring your own food. You can get from point A to point B quicker unlike other modes of transport. On trains you can stop at any train station.

Why Horse Riding Is the Best Form of Transport.

You can ride into the bushes where cars cannot go. You can be outside and ride in the fresh air. When you are riding a horse you can watch the sunset. When you are riding a horse you can lie on their back and relax as the horse takes you along a trail. You can go riding with your friends and enjoy having their company in the great outdoors.

SKATEBOARDS ARE THE BEST

Skateboards are the best mode of transport because they improve one’s balance. They also need practise to use, meaning owners of skateboards spend more time outside practising riding one. Skateboarding is also faster than walking and improves leg strength like walking does. People also do tricks on skateboards making it the ‘raddest’ of all transports. Skateboards are definitely the superior form of transport.
