Grade 3 Field Trip to Kasompe Airfield.

On Tuesday the Grade three children had the opportunity to go and visit Kasompe Airfield as part of their school topic on Transport. Mr Wardle drove the mini-bus full of very excited pupils. On arrival Mr Pflaum explained the safety aspects of being in the Airfield and then proceeded to take on his role as pilot of the light aircraft. He took time to explain all the parts of the aircraft and how they worked, to a very attentive group of children. Mr Wardle then transported them in the minibus to a vantage point where the children could watch Mr Pflaum fly round a circuit overhead.  It was a very impressive sight and the children were enthralled.  After a safe landing and parking up of the aircraft, the children had the opportunity to go inside the cockpit of the aircraft much to their delight! They had the opportunity to park up the aircraft in the hanger. A great time was had by pupils and staff alike.

Reflections on our visit by Grade 3 pupils

I enjoyed seeing Mr Pflaum flying the plane around the airfield because it was interesting to see how he could fly a plane.

My favourite thing about our visit was going inside the cockpit of the plane and seeing the buttons and dials and how they were used to make a plane fly.
