Kite flying

Today we got to go outside onto the field to fly our kites!  It was just windy enough for us to work out how to fly them.  Luckily only two people got their kite strings tangled and the rest of us managed to find our own space to fly ours without causing problems.  We would like to go outside again soon to fly our kites.  Hopefully there will be a little more wind next time so that our kites can fly even higher!

 

 

 

 

Kites

Kites are fun to play with.  They are cool because they fly high up in the sky.  When a storm is here and you fly a kite it may be dangerous so go inside your house and have some tea!  Be careful when you fly your kite. 

 

You can make your own kite at school or at home.  I think it is fun to make your own kite.  Kites are cool because they can fly up in the sky.

Kites

Kites are a things that you fly in the sky.  Kites need to fly in the wind because if they don't they will get ruined.  Today we are making kites.  Sometimes kites can be useful like on special occasions like Matariki.  People can make kites.  Flying kites can be fun and cool, but sometimes dangerous.  I'm saying they're dangerous because they might go near power lines.

How to make a kite

• First, you get a plastic bag then you cut it and make sure it is nice and flat. 
• Second,  get two sharp sticks.  Cut the sharp parts of the stick off so you can't poke somebody's eyes. 
• The third thing you do is get the two sticks and make a cross.  Put it on the flat bag.  Draw a diamond by marking each point of the cross and ruling lines between the points.  Cut the diamond out.
• Next, tape the sticks to the corners of the diamond.
