Learning Area:  iExplore

Learning Observed

Today during iExplore Kaka asked me to support his with making a paper plane.   He had seen some other boys make them the previous day and was interested in making his own today.   I found a video online that we watched together, then I helped Kaka to follow the steps to make his own paper plane. Kaka was delighted with his plane and couldn't wait to test it out.  After a few throws, Kaka then decided to decorate his plane with drawn symbols, feathers and a tail.   He later removed the tail when he realised that it was too heavy and as a result, the plane did not fly very well.

Evidence of learning

Kaka enjoyed showing off his plane to others in the Maker Space.
