Kites

As part of our topic this term we have been exploring flight. As part of flight we have been designing our own kites.

We have been watching you tube clips about the different types of kites that we could make. 

Materials we used to make our kites were string, paper, Popsicle sticks and Sellotape. Creating and thinking about how our kites were going to look like.

Mosilee and Mohammed working together to add support to their kite because they didn't want it to rip in the wind or "flop" when they flew it outside.

Emma was so excited "I can't wait to fly my kite"

Once we finished our kites (2 days later) we took them outside to test if they would fly.

The children flying it from the top of the playground and seeing if they flew and by Yzraell's shouted "it floats"

We had a lot of fun making and designing our own kites. 

What next? From our inquiry we are excited and decided that we will try other types of materials to make our kites.
