Kite Making Workshop
Fun was the order of the day on Saturday 14th March 2015!
Kite maker extrodinaire Alan Admore, and novice kite makers Bronwyn and Chris helped children make their very own kites – out of coloured paper, sellotape, a straw and string! Every kite made flew beautifully and the children had lots of fun flying them around the koru maze outside the Education Centre.
Then it was on to Oreti Beach to fly a range of home-made and large kites brought along by participants. The beach is the ideal place for kite flying, a gentle breeze and lots of space – one kite we estimated was at least 600 metres high! Bronwyn seemed to be an expert in untangling the lines that invariably got snagged as children ran in all directions with kites trailing behind!
There is something very special about making a kite and seeing it actually take off and fly. That moment is exhilarating and thrilling, it’s so much fun and you just can’t do it without having a smile on your face – thanks Alan and Bronwyn for running this event.
