#WhyILoveThe747
As it celebrates the 50th anniversary of its first flight today, it’s not done badly for a plane that was only supposed to be around for a few years until the supersonics took over. It started my closet plane-spotting interest as a young boy growing up in south west London, its distinctive shape making it easy to pick out. In the early 1980s, I was lucky enough to see one of them up close and stood in staggered awe as I only came half way up the nose landing gear. In the [not so reassuring] words of a friend and former Virgin 747 pilot, “I’ve really got no idea how they can actually take off.”
I now work in south east London and fortunately @britishairways still fly them and at @Rosendaleschool we are right above the approach path to Heathrow 27R and fifty years later, they continue to inspire the children.
My Activity Passport
Last December, Damian Hinds introduced the Children’s Activity Passport, an editable activity checklist for children under 11. It’s not a statutory requirement for primary school children and is more targeted as ideas parents and carers can use to broaden their child’s experience as well as having fun together. You can download a Word version here: My_Activity_Passport_Rosendale_editable
If you do start using one, please tell us how you’re getting on and whether you’ve come up with some even more exciting ideas for inclusion.
