Flight through Time

Project Overview

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.

It is built upon our four-stage primary focused pedagogy – Engage, Develop, Innovate, Express – to get your children curious about the project ahead, develop and then use new skills and knowledge, before finally allowing them to express their thoughts, ideas and reflections on what they have learnt.
