While working in one of the nursery hubs last week I noticed some of the children were looking for a little challenge. So we decided to make our own runway and paper aeroplanes. We marked lines on the floor using sheets of cut up paper and then made a starting line. Using measuring tapes we measured the distances and marked these on the floor, (we were inside but this can easily be taken outdoors too.)
If you are like me this diagram could come in handy as I am not the best at making these. However the children were all very good. Giving them step by step instructions to follow you can watch them become aeronautical engineers (aeroplane designers)!
This can be a good family activity.
Let’s see who can make a flying paper plane…
Which one can fly the furthest?
Discuss measure and distance as well as having fun and being active.
Enjoy and please remember to let us know how you all get on by leaving a comment.
Boys and girls we are all missing you and your families.
