Hi everyone!
Here is my challenge for you this week.
Can you design your own kite ?
As the weather is cold and windy just now I thought you would all enjoy going a walk and flying a kite.
You can use paper and create your own designs. Cut out your own shapes and decorate it. Then add some string.
Or
Use a plastic bag – these can be decorated too.
With help from an adult tie the handles of the bag together and leave it long enough so you can fly it.
If you have a real kite I would love to see them too.
Go outdoors and run with your kite, it should fill with air and fly.
**children must be supervised at all times using the plastic bag **
Curriculum areas covered –
Expressive arts – choose ways to create an image using a variety or materials.
Social studies – Can you have a discussion about the different types of weather? Ask your child questions –
What do we need for the kite to fly?
What keeps the kite in the air?
Literacy – Can you use predictions skills and record what happens when flying your kite?
Did it work ? If not, what was stopping it?
Try this over a few days and hopefully you get a really windy day.
