Flying Parachutes

Using plates to draw a large circle on our plastic bags to make the shape of the parachutes.

We mark 4 equal spaces on our plastic circle with a marker pen.

We measure 4 equal lengths of string and cut.

Then we tie the strings to the parachute.

The fun part is to tie the other side of the strings to the soldier and dropping him from above.

We have to much fun throwing him high into the sky and watch him parachute down.

In my excitement to see my parachute fly, I accidentally

 threw it over to my neighbour's house.

Auntie Mabel is laughing.

Our neighbour is not in, so 

we have to make another one.

Nadeem is trying his parachute first in the garden.

Good job Nadeem.

Next Nabeel goes up the balcony to throw his parachute down.

Down Down Down it goes

Finally, it is Nabeel's turn to throw his parachute.
This time, the parachute flies perfectly and lands on the ground.
