My Museum Experience by Emma

                              Museum of Flight

On Thursday 19th of November primary 7 went on a trip to the Museum of Fight to find out more about the RAF during World War 2. After all our hard work on fundraising primary 7 had enough money to pay for the coach. When we saw the Concorde all of our mouths were wide open with shock, none of us had ever seen a plane so big! We found out that Britain was very good at capturing planes so that is why there was quite a lot of German  planes there. We all especially liked a plane called the Comet. The wheels would drop off when the plane was in the sky so when it landed it would bounce on the ground. Primary 7 thoroughly enjoyed it and we would all love to go back.

Primary 7's Experience at The National Flight Museum by Oliwia

On Thursday 19th November Primary 7 went to 'The National Museum of Flight' at East Fortune. First when we entered the museum we saw the 'Concorde'! I was really shocked to see it and my first words were 'wow'! We got to go on the 'Concorde' and it was amazing but the windows on it are really small! A couple hours later we saw the Nazi (German) plane which is called 'The Comet'. When the Comet took off it dropped of its wheels which made it really dangerous when the pilot was landing. We also got to see different clothes that were used in the war. Some of the suits are very heavy as they are made of sheepskin and leather. East Fortune was used for training not flying/landing planes. East Fortune was also far away from the big cities and close to sea for submarines. There were also blast shelters around the museum. The blast shelters were shaped like a hill and used for going into them when a bomb was dropping.

P7 take to the skies in the Museum of Flight

After fundraising for the coach, P7 finally made the trip to Museum of Flight to learn about flying with the RAF in WW2. We also had the opportunity to find out about the Concorde and explore the inside of one!

 

 

Jerry “National Flight of Museum had loads of information. Seeing the Concorde for the first time was amazing. Another highlight for me has to be learning about WW1 and WW2 aircraft.”

 

Keira – “I loved the National Museum of Flight because I got to go on the Concorde for the first time. Fantastic Flight was great because there were lots of games inside, e.g. learning about air pressure and how it works.”

 

Jude “I really enjoyed it because I love history and I didn’t know much about military history. Also, getting to see not just aircraft, but seeing bombs, rockets, and handling objects from WW2, e.g. a pilot’s bomber jacket”. 

Sana “My first impression was ‘wow’!!! I was speechless because of how big the Concorde was. Seeing all the WW2 planes brought history to life.

Finn “The experience was amazing because I learned lots more facts about WW2 aircraft. My favourite part was when I was in the Simulator for the R34 and safely landed the airship.”

 

Oliwia “I really enjoyed it because I really like history and I learned a lot of facts about the aircraft such as the RAF and what the pilot wore when flying, i.e. a heavy sheepskin and leather jacket.”  

 

Sipun “Going to the Museum provided me with a great experience as I got to see some WW2 aircraft and learned more about them. Did you know that when the Nazi plane The Comet took off, the wheels dropped off so it bounced off the ground which was highly dangerous. The pilot was sitting directly over the engine.”

Finlay “I thought that the Museum was fascinating because it was my first time ever on the Concorde. Also I learned about WW1 and WW2 such as the aircraft.

Emily “I was absolutely thrilled to go to the Museum because it was a bit of history. Every single plane represented a fragment of what has happened in the past. It was amazing being learning about how technology has developed since early flying days in the early 20^th century.”

Lee “I enjoyed it because I learned about planes like the Concorde. Did you know that the Concorde flew twice the speed of sound.It travelled 1380mph and it took only 3 hours to fly from London to New York.”



P7 visit the National Records of Scotland

P7 took a trip to the National Records of Scotland to learn about how WW2 impacted 2 streets in Glasgow, in particular Baker St and Ingleston St. It was a fantastic opportunity to learn about how records are kept and how we can discover information about individual people and places.
