This is a beautifully presented story about how the wright brothers learned to build a plane and fly. Lots of lovely illustrations to accompany the story. Very informative and would be useful to use with a KS1 to learn about a part of history. It can encourage children to never give up on their dreams and there are so many activities which could come out of this, building their own junk model plane, a newspaper article about the flight, a letter to the wright brothers of questions they would like to ask them, science discussions about how planes can fly and the impact of gravity and other forces on the plane - this could link in to experiments of what makes the best materials for flight, discussions about how this invention has impacted the world around us.
