FLYING THEME

CRAFTS:

Parachute 
Each child requires a 30cm square of orange plastic (cut from garbage bags), four self sticking reinforcement rings, four lengths of thin wire (telephone wire), and a plastic clothespin. The kids punch a hole in each corner of the plastic and attach the reinforcement rings around the holes. Thread the wires through the holes and tie a knot at the end. Take all four wires and tie a knot to hold them together. Clip the clothespin onto the knot. Throw the parachute into the air and watch the parachute descend.

Paper Airplanes
Make different styles and designs of paper airplanes, and colour them.

GAMES & ACTIVITIES:

Paper Airplanes
After making your airplanes - have a flying contest to see who goes the distance. Try it outside to findout how the weather changes the/ affects the flying. 

Watch The Flying Jet
You can watch a jet flying all over the sky, no matter where you are. You'll need a cardboard tube, a piece of plastic wrap and tape. Trace around the end of the tube on the plastic wrap with a ball point pen. Draw a small jet plane on the middle of the circle. Then tape the plastic wrap to the tube, keeping the jet in the middle of the tube opening. To see the jet fly, just look up at the sky or ceiling through the open end of your telescope. Move your head around slowly while looking through it and the jet will seem to be flying across the sky.
