November 2nd,
Our friends got to create their own kites to experiment with the movement of air. For this project we decided to have our friends figure out how to create something that would fly out of simple materials. Using only paper and yarn our friends figured out how to fashion their very own kite! Each child’s kite was unique because we let them do all the folding and fashioning themselves.
Once our friends finished making and decorating their kites it was time to fly them! Our friends went down into the dell to finally experiment with their creations.
These children made the observation that if they ran with the kites that they would even fly when the wind was not blowing. Other children observed that running down the hill with their kite would make it fly higher!
