The Natural World Centre held in Sptember 2013 an exhibition entitled Aviation: Our Local Heritage, and there has been a great interest in the exhibition which displayed informative panels on Lincolnshire’s aviation heritage, interactive displays and stunning nose artwork.
The Natural World Centre also held a poetry competition for children aged 16 years and under in memory of RAF Fighter Pilot John Magee. Entrants were asked to write a poem entitled ‘Flight’ of which they were able to interpret in any way.
The three lucky winners were:
1st Place - Lilybelle Boyden aged 7 from Waddington
2nd Place - Caitlin Arendt aged 9 from Claypole
3rd Place - Darcey Smith aged 7 from Welton
And here are their wonderful poems:
Feathered Bird
Bird you fly up in the sky
With your feathers as light as snow.
You spread your wings
You glide
You fly into the sky.
You slide through the clouds
Like a snake through the grass.
Hop, hop, hop with your feet together
As you move you bounce
Like a new born bunny on a spring day.
You fly into the sky
Glide as you spread your wings
Fly up, up, up.
