Let's fly!
After lunch we had a small group of children up.
As we filled in notebooks, Callan and Logan had their pens and paper and they were 'writing' to!
This evolved into something else - making paper planes!
Callan loved to try and fly them and Lilly joined in the fun!
We tried lots of different designs and some flew better than others. And sometimes it depended on how fast or hard they were thrown.
The children are learning about the properties of paper and how when it is folded different ways it has different effects on the way the paper planes fly.
What a fun way to introduce scientific concepts such as physics to the children.
