Today has been totally amazing, we have had so much fun 

with this session, so today we have made hot air balloons!

After talking to the kids about how hot air rises, we not only 

talked about heat but smoke and our conversation went 

to a familiar time when our local fire fighters explained to us

about how smoke and heat rises, so when we have a fire we

head to the floor and crawl out. 

We talked about gasses and fuel that makes things go like 

airplanes. Aviation week has been a good learning experience for

the children. 

For thousands of years people wanted to learn to fly. Some tried

making wings out of wood and cloth. ha ha I had a good story 

to tell the kids of when I was about their age and made cardboard wings.

Right...it didn't work! In the year 1783 was the first hot air balloon made by two brothers

Jacques and Joseph Montgolfier.

Here are some pictures of the making of our hot air balloons today.

So much fun!!!

Then time for lunch and a good rest!

Aviation

In 1969 On July 20th Astronaut Neil Armstrong was

the first to step on the moon!

We made some paper airplanes and flew them

outside, the kids had a blast doing this.

We had a discussion about Aviation, when I explained

what Aviation was I asked the children to name things

that fly or go up in the sky here are some of their answers...

Airplanes, helicopter, jets, hot air balloons, kites,

frisbee's, space rockets, hang gliders, parachutes,and smoke.

Pretty brilliant id say !!!

This week our theme is Aviation and things that go up in the sky!

Aviation: The operation of heavier then air aircraft.

Lots of Summer Fun I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Welcome

I would love to see every parent, every family member and all friends of each of these little children be involved in the joy of their experience here at ABC.
