Manchester Airport Runway Visiting Park
To further investigate our topic of ‘Travel and Transport’ we went on a school trip to Manchester Airport Runway Visiting Park. We had a great time and experienced lots of new things. We learnt a lot about aeroplanes whilst in the Monarch DC10 aircraft including how they are made, what materials are used to make them and the people that are needed to run an aircraft from take-off to landing; there are a lot more people needed than we had anticipated! We enjoyed dressing up in these roles and looking at what tools and equipment they use to be able to their job. We were lucky enough to be shown one of Manchester Airport’s very own working fire engines based at one of the two fire stations there. We had a brilliant time in the sunshine with the excitement of aeroplanes taking off and landing all around us!!
