After such an eventful morning on the 4th July, we hope everyone enjoyed
this month’s ‘History Makers’; ‘Flying high with Amy Johnson’; we certainly
did! Being proud of our city’s history and people, we felt it was only right to
celebrate one of the most influential female pilots of all time with everything from
paper aeroplanes to Lego models.
The morning was filled with all manners of fun activities,
one of the most popular being the paper aeroplane competition - many types of
planes were created and thrown with all forms of creative designs. All credit
to Josh for the winning plane, which itself nearly flew out the building; Amy
Johnson herself would have been proud!
Another great part of the morning was the creative minds of
all those making their own Lego models, with anything from planes to
helicopters being designed. Without even needing instructions many children
were able to create Lego masterpieces from the tops of their heads - a feat
which impressed us all!
I particularly enjoyed the friendliness of all those involved,
from children to staff, everyone was willing to help each other, and work together
to make the event even more enjoyable. Also a huge thank you to all those
involved with the event, and those who contributed.
The next History Makers event is on Saturday the 1st of August
(9:30-12:30) ‘A very big house in the country’ in which we look forward to
designing, planning and creating our very own dream houses out of Lego! We hope to see you there!
