Describing an Image

There is a enormiss turtle. There is a girl climbing the yellow and grey ladder,  she is looking out the window. There is a big elephant with and a helicopter shining a flash light. There is even a horse that is brown and has a little bit of white by his nose. A lady is sitting on the turtles head with balloons. There is a picture of  a man with a beard hanging from rope.

What makes a kite fly?


We wrote this piece of writing together as a class.
What makes a kite fly?

There are four forces that affect a kite when it is flying. They are gravity, lift, thrust, and drag.


Gravity is the force that keeps us on the ground. The heavier a kite is the harder it is to fly.

Lift is the force pushing the kite off the ground. Lift happens when air moves over the top of the kite at a faster speed than the air that is moving under the bottom of the kite.

The force that makes a kite move through the air is called thrust. Thrust happens with a kite when it is held in one place by its string, while the wind flows around the kite.


As air flows over the kite the wind gets held back a little by the roughness of the fabric. This friction is called drag.

Magical Matariki


What is Matariki?

The 7 stars disappear in late April. The stars come back in early June. The stars are called the 7 sisters. We celebrate Matariki in lots of different ways. The Maori people make kites to fly them in the sky made out of wood, flax or paper. We tell stories too. We catch fish and grow trees.
