Last week on the 14th of October everyone was at school including me and after watching Immersion Assembly we were making paper planes because team 4’s movie was about instructions on how to make paper planes so we made paper planes. When I was younger I tried making paper planes and they have turned out great in the past but I didn’t realise that there were different types of planes.
The first thing that Miss Parrant said is to get 4 pieces of paper because we would be making 4 paper planes and she said to use it wisely and to try and not make mistakes. Miss Parant put us into pairs and I was with YiYi, YiYi and I went to go and get the paper and one of us had to get our chromebook so I got mine so I could have instructions on the screen to help me make the planes. I made dart and hunter and YiYi made Raven and buzz.
After everyone making their planes Miss Parrant asked to bring all 4 of our planes as well as our maths book and a pencil or pen, we brought our maths book so we could see how far we got then write it in our maths book but before we went outside we had to wait for the other class to be finished using it so we could go after them. While we were waiting Miss Parrant told us some rules and after she told us the rules the other class was finished so it was our time to go outside.
The first 3 people that were up was Emzjull, Meki and Filipo, the planes the went the furthest was Mekis plane then when they were finished it was my groups turn and two other groups when she said go I tried to make it go as far as I can but it didn’t go very well the first one was 3.8 and the other groups made it go further so we got the lowest one but the next round I wanted to try a different technique to see if it was go further and it kinda worked it was further than the other one but still not very far so when the next round was up I wanted to try throw harder to see if it would go further but it made it worse it was 0.8 but sadly that was the last round. After I went the other teams went and they did way better and I was a little bit sad that it didn’t go very far.
Even though it didn’t go far and even though we got the lowest one I still had very fun making the planes with my friends and trying them out to see how far it got. The most fun part was when I got to make it and the hardest part was to make it go very far. I chose to build Dart and Hunter because it was the first two and we said we were each going to make two paper planes each, and I wanted easy ones because the other ones looked kinda hard. Also YiYi wanted to do those ones so I just went with Dart and Hunter. If I could do it again I would throw the plane calmly and try to throw it straight. What I learnt from this experience was that to not throw hard when throwing a plane outside because the wind will try to make it come back.
