Junior and Senior Infants are busy exploring the theme of “Transport and Travel” in Aistear so two special visitors came to visit them to tell them all about airplanes and flying.  Brendan (Mrs. Howard’s brother) is a pilot and Michelle (Sophie’s mammy) is an air hostess.  They both work for Aer Lingus and they wore their uniforms to show the girls.  Brendan and Michelle told the girls all about the jobs they do.  Brendan showed the girls photos and videos of different airplanes.  Some of these photos were taken from inside the cockpit.  Michelle talked about the safety instructions she gives to passengers on the plane and showed the girls how a life jacket works.   The girls were extremely excited about the experience.   Both Michelle and Brendan answered so many questions the girls had about flying……..they are definitely experts now!
