P5S had a very successful kite-flying outing in the rain today. After making the kites out of paper, art straws, tape, string and ribbon, the class went out to test them. It was a little damp outside so the kites got a little wet! This meant they were heavier and harder to fly and there were also a few technical issues (things falling apart!).

Despite the problems caused by the weather, everyone managed to get their kite to fly! Well done everyone. Next week we will start to plan our final kite. Get thinking about the different materials and designs you may use.

As requested, here are the instructions to make the kite at home.
