School Workshops
Primary Schools
Our Kite Workshops run for
approximately one and quarter hours. We give the children a brief history of
kites and cover the basics of flight and aerodynamics. The children then fly
our kites that are all different shapes and sizes, diamond, deltas, box kites,
sharks etc. We finish the session with
each child making a paper A4 kite that is 'guaranteed' to fly.
We have been taking students through our kite
workshops for 10 years and adapt sessions to suit all year levels K-6 and for a
variety of Learning Areas. Please let us know if you want a specific area
highlighted.
For the younger groups we
concentrate on telling stories and the fun of flying kites. For years 5 and 6
we get more into how and why they fly.
We need a large open area
preferably a school oval for the workshop to be successful. We will start the
workshop in the classroom and then move outside to fly the kites. All the
children get a chance to fly at least a couple of kites.
We limit class sizes to 30
students so that all children get a fair go and we avoid to many tangles! If a
school has two or three classes we will run up to three sessions per day.
After the workshop we will
invoice the school for the number of students attending. The cost is $4.00/student
plus GST
In the event of wet weather
the school needs to ring me on my mobile and we can reschedule the workshop.
There is no cancellation fee.
If you need more information
or would like to make a booking please call me or send an email to school@kitesite.com.au.
Thanks.
