Flight

This term we are studying flight.We are going to the Ardmore Airport to look at how planes fly and what makes them fly. Did you know that the hot air balloon was the first object to fly. The Mongolofia Brothers tested it and they put a dog,a rooster and a duck in it because it was too scary! The Wright Brothers were the first people to fly all the flying objects. That must of taken a lot of time to do and test! In room 18 we have been doing cardboard relief art for flight art. We had to draw a picture of a flying object. I chose the hot air balloon. When we finished drawing we had to cut out pieces of cardboard and stick them on our picture. Then we are going to roll coloured ink on our picture and then put it through an old washing machine wringer so it will press down. When we finish they will look fabulous because we are doing a timeline of the first flying objects to the recent time that they have been tested.
