The Coolest Categories Found In a Kite.......... By Kiara

Sled Kite Hey there it's me again!  Did you know that kites fall into certain categories by the way they look ? I knew that I just wanted to see if you knew, haha, okay whatever ​I will just show you some kites that half fall into certain categories so here we go!!!!! So let's start off with winged section first

Sled Kite The sled kite falls into the winged section because it has wings on the side so if it goes down ​it can glide right back up.

The Winged Box Kite falls into the winged categories because  it does the same thing as the sled kite and it's just the winged version of the original boxed kite.

The Box Kite falls into this categories because it has boxes in the design. 

​Now here comes the diamond category.

Delta Kite The Delta Kite falls into the diamond category because it is formed into a diamond shape.

Here are Some Interesting categories........ By Jenslie

What is your favorite kite style? My favorites are the hang glider looking types. Wait........ a hang glider kite is the only thing Mrs. Grate didn't put that on the paper with the kite pictures. YES! EXTRA CREDIT TIME! they're my favorite because to me it looks big enough to make something in the kite. That would be a nice type of kite that would have enough space for a picture or something that shows what is on your kite. If my team and I were to work on a hang glider kite, I would've known what I would like to do. DO YOU IMAGINE THAT WE WOULD'VE MADE A HANG GLIDER KITE AND GET ON IT AND START FLYING AROUND SHOWING EVERYBODY YOUR KITE! Yea,  you do. What?- A student could dream.

 

Time For Something Creative................Melissa's kite styles

Do you like different kite styles because guess what, I like different kinds of kite styles. Kites can be creative, less creative, beautiful, and not so beautiful. What I want to see in a kite is something that no one has never seen before. Like Mrs. grate says, which is that building a creative kite is an exciting kite not a boring kite. I know that I don't want a boring kite, in fact that's one of my team's goals, which is to have the most creative, and beautiful kite. Due to our determination as a team, that won't be a hard goal to achieve for us girls. You know about diamond kites, right, well that is one of the kites that we do not want to have because that's too boring. How about a kite that's not a shape for once, because I know that you're tired of the diamond kites or the square kites, or the box kites. Well be amazed when our kite is not a shape,because another word for those kites are boring. And that is not a word that people will use to identify our kite, I know that for sure. Well, I guess that's it, that reading took my breathe away, literally. 

The Most Important Thing Of a Kite is Its Parts, Here is a Demonstration By Kiara

Well hello there! Yea its me again miss me?! Don't answer that I know you do, anyway before I start building a kite I will  explain the parts to you cause if I didn't I would be calling everything a thingy and don't you think that would be pretty confusing but today I will clear up all that confusion so her we go!!!!!!!

Brindle:The loop or loops of string that join the line to the rest  of the kite.

Keel:A vertical piece of sail material beneath the kite like like the keel of the boat.

Sail:The fabric or paper that makes up the horizantal (or nearly-horizantal) parts of the kites.

Spars:Sticks that holds the kite against the wind.

Tail:Used to keep it stable,pointing the right way or just for decoration.

Tow point:Strings that guide the kite to the right way into the wind.

Spreader:Connects sail or paper to kite frame.

Spine:The up-down,or vertical stick that you build your kite around.

Line:The string running from the kite,where you hold to fly the kite.

Fitting:These include stick to stick fittings,and fabric fittings. 

well those are the parts of the kite, see:e ya later alligator<3

Need Help with Kite Vocabulary, Well Read this By Jenslie

All parts of a kite must work. If even one function of a kite is not working properly, it will affect a kite badly. For example, if the spar of a kite were to not function, the kite would be boring and out of shape, literally because the spar of a kite is the shape and beauty. Parts of the kite like spar, tail, spine, towing point, keels, and sail are like people and those people have jobs. Their job is to function. But the parts have to be correctly made. If the parts aren't correctly made how are they going to do their job in. Based on one of my team goals, we are closely paying attention to the spar of the kite. Our team goal was to make the kite most beautiful and the spar of a kite is not only the decoration that you add to the kite, but the shape of the kite. Pay closely attention to these parts...... Because some of them don't like doing their job. ^-^

Time For The Best Kite Vocabulary Ever, And Guess Who It Is, ............Melissa

Kites can be beautiful, and sometime not so beautiful, but what makes a kite beautiful is it's parts. It's like they all have a job that needs to work perfectly or the whole kite can be a waist of materials and time. In fact, the brindle has a part, which is to help the kite become more maneuverable, or more easily while in motion. The spars part on a kite is just as important as the rest of the parts, which are the sticks on a kite to hold the kites shape against the wind. In other words, the spar makes sure the wind doesn't destroy the beauty of the kite. Well, only if the kite is actually beautiful. Anyways the line of the kite is the best balance for a kite, and you don't want a floppy kite you want  perfect kite. Not to mention the tail of the kite, which is pretty similar to the line of a kite, which is used to help get more balance to the kite. Also I forgot to add how my team's kite will top most kites due to how we will make sure that each part of the kite is perfect, with a little design on top to show how beautiful it will be compared to most kites. That means that we will do something different, that no one have already seen before. Try to top that on the contest because me and my team are in for the competition.
