Flight through Time
During this project, children will learn about the history of flight and how human invention and brave aviators have changed the world of aviation and our everyday lives. Using a range of different sources, they will learn key facts about the history of flight, from the first flight of the Wright brothers to the invention of the jet engine by Frank Whittle. They will also learn how brave aviators, such as Bessie Coleman and Amy Johnson, blazed a trail for others and broke barriers of race and gender before considering how flight impacts people’s everyday lives.
