• Swans class visit to the RAF museum

  Fri 28 Nov 2025

  Swan's class have been exploring the story 'Planes and Other Flying Machines' as part of their 'How things work' topic.

  Over the past couple of weeks we have learned about different flying vehicles, the sounds they make and focused on using key vocabulary from the story to match and describe. To consolidate our fantastic learning, we visited the RAF Museum! We looked for planes in our story, played with interactive resources and even walked through a Sunderland plane to see exactly how things work inside!
