Pilot Ed visits Mayflower!

This week in Reception, the children have been reading and discussing the book, 'Where do Jet Planes Sleep at Night?' by Brianna Caplan Sayres. The book has given the children the opportunity to discuss a variety of different air transports from both the past and present. On Wednesday, the children were visited by one of our parents who is a pilot. They had the opportunity to listen to Ed talk about his job and ask lots of questions. Ed kindly answered a variety of questions from the children, including "Where do you fly to?" and "How many people line up to use the toilet?" We would like to thank Ed for coming in; it is an amazing opportunity for the children.
