As part of their Design and Technology learning over the last few weeks, Year 1 have been designing and making kites. They have looked at suitable materials, learned how to join the different parts and designed super colourful kites. Today was the final stage when they made a diamond shaped kite. This involved listening carefully to instructions, working cooperatively step by step and demonstrating perseverance when it got a little tricky! Then they all had a wonderful time flying their kites on the field. It was lovely to see the exuberance and delight on the children’s faces as they raced around with the kites swooping, twirling and diving behind them!
