Key Stage 1

Big Book – More than an Airport
The Book features key messages about the environmental challenges the airport faces, the choices it makes and the impact of those choices. This book covers the subjects in the school curriculum but in a way that engages younger school children. It encourages children to think, at an early age, about the decisions and choices they might make, and how these could impact on other things or people around them.
