A pilot comes to visit

This afternoon the Middle Team went to the hall to listen to Fran, Mrs Hood's cousin, talk to us about flight: how airplanes work, her job as a pilot and more.

We learnt a lot and it was great that we already knew the answers to some of her questions.

    I learnt the four forces witch is lift thrust drag and gravity.
    I also learnt that when you try to brake a egg with your hand the air pressure is going over the top and it is heard to brake the egg.

    I've learnt there are four forces and they are... Drag,lift,gravity and thrust.
    I've also learnt that when you wrap your hand around an egg the air pressure is going over the top and it is hard to brake it, three people went to try and brake it.
    I enjoyed the compotiton at the end because there were different captains and room 8 won the copotation who remebers what Fran tought the middle team.

    I learnt that drag and thrust have to work together to keep the plane in the air,
    and I learnt what all the controls are for in the front of the plane.
    I also met Mrs hood's cousin.

    I learnt that lift made the plane steady and gravity made the plane go a bit heavy and drag makes the plane go back and thrust makes the plane go forward.

    I learnt about drag and thrust. They had to be the same . If there was too much drag the plane will turn right .
    I learnt so much about the plane and the controls of the planes and thrust and drag and lift .
