KITES and more ... KITES

Great night preparing kites for flying next week.
Year 7 students with the help of Mr.Goodwin made SLED kites and will test these next week.
Year 9 with Mr. Geekie made some DELTA kites to fly next week.

Kite making is all about symmetry and balance - hopefully we will all see some great flying next week.
Health and safety is important when flying kites, in particular no flying when skies are overcast or indeed raining as there is a possibility of static electricity causing severe injury. Mr Geekie will repeat this and other safety issues before flying.

PS If you are reading this - try to bring along a can pull ring - will be used to help attach kite to flying line.
Remember the Japanese saying " You make a kite - you have friend for life "
