Last week, one of our special friends suggested that we try making kites. He told us all about the resources we would need, and together we gathered everything required. We carefully passed the materials to him while everyone watched with great interest as he created an amazing kite.

First, he used rods to form a cross shape, which he then attached to tissue paper. The paper was then carefully cut out before the string was added. Soon, the kite was ready to fly!

One of our nursery grown-ups kindly took the kite outside to test it and it flew perfectly! What an exciting and rewarding experience for us all. It was then the childrens turn. They began constructing their kites and before we knew it, we were outside flying them.

As well as kite making, we got busy decorating the room in preparation for Easter. The children filled laminating pouches with small pieces of cellophane which we then placed through the laminator. We held them up against the window to allow the light to shine through. Sadly, it was a bit of a dull day so we were unable to achieve the full effect but we hope by Easter the sun will be shining and the colours of the cellophane will shine through.
