The Year Two Aeroplane Competition

Each year the Year Two Class competes in a paper aeroplane contest.  It is a part of the Science unit on Forces.  The children learn about air pushes as a force.  They learn that all criteria and conditions must meet the same standards.  They use the same paper, and the aeroplanes are flown inside where outside factors cannot affect the outcome.  This year Neva Franz won first with 9m and 45cm.  Second place went to Jacob Ward with 9m and 40cm.  Irina Barrass took third place with 6m and 45cm.  Rory Chatwood won fourth place with 6m and 30cm.  All the children received certificates.  The title for Tabuk Primary School is still held by Tara Nicholls whose aeroplane went 16m and 2cm.
