Hi Again,
So one week before Kathryn and Selina's visit we had a Tuesday art lesson at Ingrid Chawner as usual. The task was to make a kite which was a success even if I do say so myself. The lesson was taught mainly by Kwinika who was invited as a guest for the day. The boys all knew how to make Kites but I didnt and so it ended up being more of a competion on who could make the BEST kite. Some said making a kite was for kids and they were not a kid so they, therefore, would NOT interested in making one. However, the excitment must have got to their inner child and they joined in too...
As you will see i do start to give you instructions but I wasnt paying enough attention at the time so you can half way learn how to make a kite from odd bits and bobs. If you want full instructions lpease write in and I will do my best to aid you with instruction (always here to help *wink*).
So in order to make a kite you need the following....(please note the assistant in all the photo is Felix aged 10).

| Dia de Arte com Samuel and co. |
 |
| PLASTIC BAG |
 |
CANIҪO (Pronounced can-e-soo) bit like bamboo |
 |
| RICE SACK as modelled by Felix the assistant aged 10 |
 |
| The Rice bag needs to be shredded by pulling it apart. Assistant two, Yvonne here, is showing how its done. Please see the shreds on the floor in the back ground. These will be used for the string that will be attached to the ball of twine you will make to reel out your Kite so it will fly high... |
 |
| Kwinika and Felix getting things sorted.....go boys! |
 |
| Cut your plastic bag into a square. Lay your caniҫo diagonally across the square as shown here. Use some one the shredded lengths from the rice bags to secure the caniҫo to the plastic bags as shown |
 |
| Me and Felix the assistant (aged 10) having a little bit of shredding fun time....whoooohoooo! |
 |
| This seasons new MUST have is a blue shredded rice sack... |
 |
| Yeah baby lets go Kite crazy |
 |
| Inasio.....the DON of making kites.....or so he thought. It didnt go well for him thats all I will say. |

 |
| Helio and Toze.....late entries but entrants all the same....moving quickly |
 |
| "NO PHOTOS KAMILAH......this is a competition and I have no time for it" |
 |
| Zoro came through..... |
 |
| More assistants to aid us in the challenge......tying those shredded pieces of rice bag was WORK. Apparently we found out it wasnt the most efficient method....but alas Kwinika was from the old school. |
 |
| This was the other method of getting the string from the Rice Bag and you dont have to join the shreds together......these kids are from the new school. |
|
| Andre......another happy camper! |
 |
| Almost there.... |
 |
| This was actually the winning Kite made by Daniel......it was AMAZING! |
 |
| Can you see it......floating in the background. The shreds of rice back were joined together her to make the string that you see here wrapped round the caniҫo stick. This is Daniels hand by the way..... |
 |
| BLISS....all in a days work... |
 |
| Joao sunglasses and Kite.....got to stay cool! |
 |
| Aaaawww Kwinika it was a sad day for you......that tree was the end of you and your Kite. Im sooooo sorry....lol |
 |
| Is this the assistant Felix......I think it is... |
 |
| We're all Flying High.... |

That looks like it was soooo much fun! Glad all the boys got involved in the end- they probably wanted to impress Kwinika!
