This term our inquiry question is
 "How do we make a kite that will fly?"


We will be looking at design, problem solving, sharing ideas, helping each other and having lots of fun. We will also welcome Matariki (Maori New Year) into our inquiry making traditional Manu taratahi (Maori kites).

Melinda read one of the books she wrote called 'Were-nana
