Once you’ve watched the video, your challenge today is to create your very own paper aeroplane! You can then decorate your paper aeroplane in any way you like – what could you draw on it? A fun activity would be the see how far your aeroplane can travel. How could you measure how far it travelled? Perhaps you could measure using hand spans, your feet or even a measuring tape. Have lots of fun!
