Our vist from a kite expert - Miss Flint!

Lesson: Design and technology

Class: Year 5 Year: 2021 - 2022

Miss Flint joined us to give us the history behind kites. She showed us some different examples and let us see what they are capable of (including extreme kite flying, kite buggying amd kite skateboarding).

She brought examples including the:

  • Delta stunt kite
  • Soft foil kite
  • Flexi foil kite
  • Revolution kite.

 

We were introduced to the techinical vocabulary including: spars, ripstop, leading edge, rigidity, frame and reinforcement.

Miss Flint advised us to think carefuly about material, size, shape, strength and weakpoints when we design and make our own kites.

Thank you for your time Miss Flint!
