Today was our last school holiday workshop, this time in kite making & flying. Despite my initial inward groans of protest I went along for the kids knowing they would have fun . . . and they did, and I guess so did I! The day started with some kite facts and history which sounds boring but the kids were hanging on the presenters (who's name I cannot remember!) every entertaining word and then the kids were able to get in there and make their own hexagonal kite. Once the kits were made everyone picked up and moved to the oval for some serious kite flying! Frustrating yes, lots of noise yes but there was some fun too! Josh and Isabella were able to run to their hearts content and were able to get their kites soaring quite high. It was great sense of achievement to see something they made work so well.
After a lot of flying and watching the presenter fly a ginormous kite we all sat down to picnic lunches and a play on the play ground. Once our energy was restored it was time to decorate the kites, fly some more and THEN all of the kids were able to make fruit skewers - all supplied by the shire!
The kids all walked away with a smile on their faces and of course Scarlett crashed out as soon as we got home! I am quite impressed by how great these free workshops have been so yay City of Swan!
