Summer 1 Term

This term we have been learning about different modes of Transport. We learnt the names and features of different vehicles and looked at the job of the person in charge of them.

We have also learnt about different significant people in aviation. We learnt about the Wright Brothers who were the inventors of the aeroplane and how they were inspired by a toy helicopter their Dad bought them as a gift. We made paper aeroplanes and went outside to see whose could fly the furthest!

We then learnt about a British woman called Amy Johnson who was the first woman to fly solo to Australia. We learnt facts about her life and used our detective skills to come to our own conclusion about her mysterious disappearance during World War 2.
