More learning about the aircraft of WW1

Rafael and Ivo brought model planes to show us today. We learnt that none of their models were used during World War 1. After looking at the symbols on the aircraft we worked out if they belonged to America, Germany or France. We will need to find out what symbol is in New Zealand's Air Force planes.

Today we learnt about German airships and how they were used over London during the war. We were intrigued by the massive aircraft and wanted to know what they were made out of. It was also interesting to find out that it took two years for the British to find a way to shoot down the airships.

 

 We finished off our little model planes then zoomed off to have a mock dogfight with each other!
