BEFORE THE VISIT
AT THE AIRPORT
When we arrived there, a man received us in the check
in desk zone and then he explained how his job at the airport is, the rules we
had to respect, etc, and then he took us into the departure lounge but before
we went through a control because we
could carry dangerous things or prohibited inside the airport.(Marta)
THE SECURITY CONTROL
Then, we passed the security control and I had a
problem because there was a pair of
scissor in my bag and I didn’t know it, so the worker asked me if I had
a knife or something like that. I said not and I opened my bag but there was a
scissor inside and the worker took away me my scissor. (María)
After the talk, we passed through the security control
(a funny fact: a friend called Jorge forgot to take out of the bag a nail and
the police confiscated it!) (David S.)
All my classmate passed across it but, when I passed
across it, the alarm machine started to sound because in my pocket there was my
mobile phone. I repeated it; I went back and passed another time. After this,
the police women who check the bags with the X-rays, saw in my bag a sharp
thing. I opened my bag and I could see that the sharp thing was my big
technology’s nail. The police women took it and now, I know nothing about it. (Jorge)
We laughed a lot because a partner had a metallic
thing and he was very scary when the man said to him that he had to open the
bag. (Waru)
After that, we went to the terminal and we could see some
planes, airplanes and an expensive jet, also, we went to the new area and there
the man, who gave us a small explanation said to us that “we are the first
group which step on this area”. (Jorge)
And we got into the bus to go to visit where the
falconers and the firefighters work. Before getting there, we had to pass
another security control! (I think that the airports are one of the safest
places in the world). (David S.)
THE FALCONS
In the second place, we went to see the hawks that are
animals very important for the security of the passengers, because the hawks
are used to scare away other birds that
can fly around the airport and they could crash with a plane. The visit to the
hawks was the thing that I liked the most, because they said that the hawks are
very spectacular. (Pedro)
They had a lot of birds like eagles and hawks which
are used for chase other birds which are in the path of the airplanes. They let
us touch them, it was very exciting! They explained us lots of things about these
birds and their job, for example, I didn’t know that the hawks and the eagles
were more peaceful when they had their eyes covered. I really like this part of
the excursion. (Waru)
I
liked the part where the hawk, in the middle of the conversation, pooped above
the man's arm, What a laugh!But other than that, I learned a lot in this part.

THE AIRPORT FIREFIGHTERS
Later a firefighter very kind called Antolin explained
us how is his work at the airport and also he showed us all his heavy clothes
and the objects that he has to use being firefighter.
…a firefighter came into the room but he wasn’t like
the firefighters of the films, he wasn’t a very strongman… he was very funny! (Waru)
He showed us all the costumes for the different
situations of emergencies and he made a demonstration about how he put his
clothes on quickly when there was an emergency and he made it in one minute
more o less, he was so quick! (Elisa)
So we learnt a lot about this and some people decided
that they want to be firefighters in the future. (Waru)
Finally we saw an exhibition of how a fireman truck
extinguished a fire, this experience was incredible. (Pedro)
At
the end of such explanation, we decided to take a picture in a group, with
everyone who was there. (Varinia)
After the exhibition,
we took a photo of us with the truck and then, we got into the bus again to go
back to school. WHAT A FANTASTIC DAY! (David S.)
The trip to the airport I think it was hilarious
(Ilenia)
The visit to the airport was very interesting as
I had never seen all the facilities… (Jazael)
