Parent Visit

On Wednesday Jai in the nursery’s dad, who is a pilot, came into tell us all about his job. It was fascinating and we all learned things we did not know. Even the teachers!!! We asked lots of questions but most of them were about crashing!!!!!!

It terrified the people who are going on a plane this summer.!!!

We would like to thank Jai’s dad for giving up his time to come and talk to us, inspiring some of us to maybe become pilots.
