Reception Fly High!

The cockpit of a disused aircraft.

The Reception children had ready made passports and photographs.

It was a trip which supported the Foundation Years curriculum.

They had to check in, have sandwich boxes weighed as part of the luggage requirement. (The headteacher's case was over weight but after much discussion at the flight check in allowed on board!)
