Kite Making (Offline Wednesday)


On Offline Wednesday The Whetu Team was making Kites! I have joined my Popa's Bubble so I couldn't do it with my Mum at home. But my Popa helped me during the process. At first, we had to find two pieces of little bites of wood to be the cross But we couldn't find any! Then my Popa found some wood and cut it in half so it was smaller. We hot glue the wood together (lucky we had a hot glue gun) My Popa put a nail in the wood so it would hold it together more. 2nd we got a rubbish bag and put it over the cross. Then we started to use the staple gun and staple the rubbish bag to the cross and make it the perfect shape. Then we did a Test fly to make sure it would fly but it didn't really fly but I flow at the end (kind of) We tried different ways to make it fly but it didn't really work. So I looked at it and I thought it was a little plain so I said we should paint it. Then my Popa said that we had spray paint I was so excited to paint it the next minute My Popa came back with Green, Blue, and White spray paint. I sprayed my Kite Blue then I let my Uncle CJ spray some green dots on it and put white on the tail. The most challenging thing about Making a Kite was getting it to fly. The thing that I liked the most was painting the Kite because it was really cool when I finished. The easiest thing about making this was getting the rubbish bag for the kite.    

Here is My Kite Flying (kind of)
