Flying 'The Cygnet'

 

This is a picture of The High Fliers making their Cygnets. As you can see we are very hard working at this easy challenge ( or maybe not)

The foam was a bit tricky as it ripped so easily. The rubber bands were a bit tricky as they kept snapping when you wound them by twisting the prepeller clockwise.

Here is a picture of Rebecca Wilkinson trying to repair her broken Cygnet. The puzzled look on her face is caused by the pure fact she hasn't got a very good idea of what she is doing.

This a Cygnet called 'Wiz' which Mr.Pinchbeck made himself. We don't know were he got the name 'Wiz' from as it doesn't wiz what so ever. It can fly though (but not very well)
When we had tested 'The Cygnets' in the hall we took them outside to have a litttle competition to see whose Cygnet flew the longest. The longest time was one minute and ten seconds although Daniel won he lost his Cygnet, along with some others. Many flew over twenty seconds most flew over forty seconds.
