 * At Woodbank our Year 2 and Year 6 classes are currently completing a kite project. We will post information, photos and examples of work in the coming weeks. We have enjoyed reading about the kite projects and kite traditions from around the world.**

__**November 2010**__

 * Children in Year 2 have been taking part in a home-school project. The children created a kite design at home during half-term, parental involvement was encouraged. In school, the class teacher (Mrs Sutcliffe) planned a range of creative lesson to inform and inspire the children.**
 * The photos below show the childen testing a range of different materials and writing about their findings.**








 * They then discussed what kind of kites would work best and tried out some commercial kites.**
 * Next, they decided what materials to use and set about making and decorating their kites (following their own designs).**
 * The children couldn't wait to fly their kites in the playground!!**
