There is almost nothing that gives a greater sense of achievement than making a kite yourself and having it fly well. Success at flying their own kite gives children a boost of confidence because they can see and feel what a good job they did.

Many primary schools have “Whole School Projects”. Some schools use our kites as a focal point of their project, both as a learning example and reward. Such a project is a great thing for children, and it also motivates teachers as well.

Some of the projects we have worked with are:

• Weather – we are surprised at how common this one is.
• Citizenship – particularly inter-racial harmony and anti-bullying – probably the most common “Whole School Project”
• Science
• Healthy living, both as a focus for healthy activities and healthy eating
• Language and story telling
• Design and Technology
• Celebrations

“A school’s curriculum should help children become the very best they can be. It will prepare them for the opportunities and challenges of life in the 21st century. They will be:

• Successful learners
• Confident individuals
• Responsible citizens

These aims should be the starting point for curriculum design.” ......
