On Thursday this week, our Year 2 children took an adventure to the RAF museum to support their current learning on the history of aviation. We began our journey through the sky by exploring the different Hangers and worked on some activities alongside our peers. There were some exciting monoplanes, biplanes and we found our first ever triplane! We were very excited by the badges from aviators before and the giant Lancaster Bomber monoplane! Then, we ventured to a workshop and used our learning about science and materials to uncover what the first plane was made of. We were surprised to learn it was made of fabric and wood. What a fun-packed day we had!
Take a look at our amazing photos from today:
How to help at home:
- What can you find out about the history of aviation?
- We spotted a triplane! What can you find out about them?
- Ask your child to record a diary of their trip.
