    Default Learning about the weather

    This week we are going to an activity about wind today we made sailing boats and race them in the water tray by letting the children blow the sails, with straws. Tomorrow we are going to make kites and if it's a nice day on Thursday we will try to fly them in the local park. I'll see if i can get a few photos of the children flying them.

    If anyone is interested in making a kite and don't know where to start i have put up a pdf file on how to make them.

    That's great John, thank you! I always found them a bit complicated but that makes them look doable!
