The Ultimate Paper Plane Competition!

As Year 3 think about moving on into their new classes, we decided to think about all those things that have made us a great team this year. We then put our science knowledge to the test and worked in teams to take part in the 'Ultimate' paper plane competition. Children worked in teams to build a fleet of four planes to fly in the four different rounds of the competition. These were:- the 'aim for the bullseye' TARGET round where the aim was to get as close to the target as possible; the 'we're going down Fred' HANG-TIME round where the teams had to keep their plane in the air for the longest amount of time; the 'keep it on the road' ACCURACY round where the teams had to try to land their plane on a landing strip in the middle of a straight path and lastly the 'gimme all you got' DISTANCE  round where the goal was to fly their plane as far away from the starting line as possible. The winning group were the $$$ group and lots of fun was had by all with lots of great teamwork.
