This week Year 2 have been learning about The Wright Brothers and how their invention changed the world!
The boys could think of lots of uses for aircraft. However, yesterday some visitors from MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship) came to talk to us. They explained how small aircraft are used to deliver aid in remote parts of the world.
In remote parts of the word there are often barriers that stop people getting the help they need. These barriers include floods, mud slides, mountain ranges and wildlife! Sometimes the only way to get there is to fly!
The boys got chance to act out an emergency!
Prior to our MAF visit, the boys all made paper aeroplanes in class. The planes were judged by our visitors and Marios won a prize!
