Come Fly with Prep I

On Friday Prep I enjoyed a trip to the Manchester Ringway Visitor Park as part of their topic on Flight.

The children were able to go into the ‘aeroplane classroom’ and learn about the different roles people have at the airport and on aeroplanes. They each had the opportunity to play at being pilots in the flight deck and also dressed up as cabin crew, police officers and firefighters. We even learned how the airport staff scare the birds away from the runway.

The children got to see Concorde up close and learn all about the fastest passenger plane in the world and also saw some other old aircrafts.   

Their behaviour and enthusiasm were a pleasure to see and they asked and answered some excellent questions throughout the tour. The staff were so impressed with their knowledge.

We finished off the day with a play at the play area whilst watching the planes take off and land at Manchester Airport.

A great day was had by all.
