Want makes a kite fly?

 

We wrote this piece of writing together as a class.

What makes a kite fly?

There are four forces that affect a kite when it is flying. They are gravity, lift, thrust, and drag.

Gravity is the force that keeps us on the ground. The heavier a kite is the harder it is to fly.

Lift is the force pushing the kite off the ground. Lift happens when air moves over the top of the kite at a faster speed than the air that is moving under the bottom of the kite.

The force that makes a kite move through the air is called thrust. Thrust happens with a kite when it is held in one place by its string, while the wind flows around the kite.

As air flows over the kite the wind gets held back a little by the roughness of the fabric. This friction is called drag.

Magical Matariki

 

What is Matariki?

Matariki is a group of seven stars in the big sky. It is also the Maori new year. When we celebrate matariki we can make kites or we can weave flax.

My Holiday Highlight

The Highlight of my Holiday was making a house out of cardboard. First we cut the cardboard out. Next we made some windows. Then we got some pegs and a blanket and we put it over the house. Then we put the pegs on the blanket. My sister arrived we had lots of fun. It was time to go but I was glad we had lots of fun. I was happy because we spent some time toghether.
