Last Friday was Kite Day and I had a lot of fun!
For my Kite, I used some bamboo stakes from our Garden and shared them with Olivia because I had quite a few, some maize stack cover, tape, string and some pieces of plastic tied in a knot to make a bow for my tail.
Then at 2pm we flew our kites and took turns doing it in classes. All the kites flew really well especially Moana Iti & Nui's.
My kite took about 2 hours to make because all the taping took a while and then having to wrap up my string around the smallest piece of bamboo I could, which wasn't that big.
I think that my kite turned out quite well but it only flew when somebody threw it up when I ran.
Something that I think that I could change is the way that I attached my string. I purposely let the middle of my kite be loose so that when I was flying it the wind would catch it and make it fly but then we had to put the string on the other side so that I could see the side with no bamboo.
I really had a lot of fun making my kite I am going to fly it in the paddock on a windy day at home.
Me to Katelyn I had fun as well.
ReplyDeleteI like how you are still trying at home and never giving up.
Good Job Katelyn.
I love that you shared with Olivia! It is hard to tie it around the little whole! Great job Katelyn! I love your Kite!
