When we got off the bus our tour guide Chris brought us inside.
It was a bit freaky because when we walked in there was a plane directly above us!
He told us to sit down,then he listed the rules and told us about the main
exhibit.
It was a wall. But not any ordinary wall, it marked the people who had died in the Airforce over the years.
Then Chris sent room 10 on a scavenger hunt with the parents and told us he was going to take us upstairs to his classroom.
Sitting on the floor were yellow and black plane pieces and a cockpit. Putting the pieces together we learnt the names of the parts of the plane and how each part works.
In the end we ended up making our own polystyrene planes!
Chris taught us about the 4 forces needed for flight:
Lift: Pushes the plane upwards
Thrust: Pushes the plane forward
Weight: Pushes the plane down
Drag: Slows the plane down
Scavenger Hunt

First Chris gave each of us a sheet and Mrs Kahi put us in to groups with a parent. Then on the sheet it said find your surname on the wall but I couldn't
find it.
Then we had to go and find a plane with a tiki on it. Lots of people thought the plane was a model but actually every plane in the Museum were flown in the
Airforce and were all originals, except for one made of paper and fabric.
We had a great time at the Air Force museum and thank you to all the parents who helped out.
