--- title: "Year 1 - Koinobori Kites" url: "https://dowsonprimary.com/blog/2022-07-25-11-16-33-year-1-koinobori-kites" school: "Dowson Primary Academy" --- # Year 1 - Koinobori Kites 25 July 2022 [Teacher blog](https://dowsonprimary.com/blog/author/teacher) [Class of 2027](https://dowsonprimary.com/blog/category/class-of-2027) For our Art lesson we made Koinobori kites. We used felt tip pens to draw patterns onto special diffusing paper, we then used water and a paint brush to gently merge the colours together to make the wonderful colours and patterns that you can see. The children then had a little adult help to put the kites together and stick tissue paper on to them. We then went out to fly our kites. It was so much fun! ### Year 1 - Koinobori Kites [![](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_2259%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_2259%5B1%5D.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_2261%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_2261%5B1%5D.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_2269%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_2269%5B1%5D.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_2287%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_2287%5B1%5D.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_2291%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_2291%5B1%5D.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_2294%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_2294%5B1%5D.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_1131%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_1131%5B1%5D.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_1129%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_1129%5B1%5D.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_1133%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_1133%5B1%5D.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_1143%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_1143%5B1%5D.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_1145%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_1145%5B1%5D.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_1142%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/IMG_1142%5B1%5D.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/RP.png)](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/images/gallery/year-1-koinobori-kites/RP.png) [ Greek myth - fight scene drama](https://dowsonprimary.com/blog/2022-07-24-16-14-58-greek-myth-fight-scene-drama) [End of Year 1! ](https://dowsonprimary.com/blog/2022-07-25-11-34-51-end-of-year-1) ### Comments ### Leave a Comment ![Dowson Primary Academy](https://files.schudio.com/dowson-primary-academy-2/images/logo/Dowson-Logo.png) ### Dowson Primary Academy Marlborough Road Hyde Cheshire SK14 5HU 0161 366 0177 © Copyright 2026 Dowson Primary Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://dowsonprimary.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
