Outdoor Art

Good morning, everyone! Today looks like it will be hot and sunny so for today’s activity, try to create an outdoor art creation. You may do this in your garden or possibly at your local park if you go out for a walk. Here are some photos to give you some ideas:

Paper Planes

Good morning, everyone! For today’s activity, let’s make paper planes! This website provides clear instructions of how to build a variety of planes.

Not only are paper planes fun to make but there is also plenty of science involved. Reception, Year 1 and Year 2, try to make lots of different designs and see which one flies the furthest. Year 3 and 4, try to find a design which flies in a straight line, focusing on accuracy. Year 5 and 6, research the aerodynamics of a paper plane, which will determine the distance and ease at which it flies. The aerodynamics of the plane will need to have little drag and be light enough to defy gravity. Paper planes also use the forces of lift and thrust.
