Year 1 Make Gliders

In our Topic learning on travel and transport this week, we have been thinking about fantastic flying machines.

The children shared their knowledge of airborne transport including planes, gliders, helicopters and hot air balloons. We learnt about the development of the hot air balloon, and how aeroplanes developed from the Wright brothers onwards to modern jet planes. The children then had great fun making their own gliders, using loops of paper and paper straws. We took them outside to fly – competition was fierce to see who could fly their glider the furthest!

Welcome back, Year 1, it is so lovely to see your enthusiasm for your learning!
