Exploring the science of forces and the fascinating history of flight.

Students enjoyed an exciting visit to the FAST Museum, where they explored the science of forces and the fascinating history of flight. They learned how planes fly, saw a prototype of the very first plane, and discovered the incredible story of aviation pioneer Samuel Cody. Highlights included sitting inside a real helicopter, stepping into an air raid shelter, and viewing a range of amazing historical artefacts. It was a memorable hands‑on experience that brought science and history to life and inspired plenty of curiosity and questions back in the classroom!
