Manchester Airport

Year 2 visited Manchester Airport to watch the aeroplanes landing and taking off.  Amazingly, we were allowed to view Concorde and we asked lots of excellent questions.  Next, we role played being pilots, the airport chef, the airport police, the people who scare the birds, the air traffic control officers and the air stewards.  Everyone visited the flight deck to learn how to take off and land the plane; we went to some fantastic destinations!  We were lucky enough to watch the a380 land and whilst watching the planes land from the viewing mound we even got a wave from two pilots!  Our visit inspired us to do some of our best writing about our experience.  We thoroughly enjoyed the visit and we would love to visit again.  Most of us are now aspiring pilots and all want to have the opportunity to fly on Concorde.
