Folding Planes record is amazing!

Share to Google Classroom

Dear Editor,

My name is Shanshan and I’m from Year 5 St Heliers School. I am writing because I just read your Kiwi Kids News article “Man Folds 415 Paper Planes in One Hour”. I think that it is insane that David Rush did that. It’s like folding 7 paper planes per hour!
This record is amazing for 2 main reasons:
1. It proves patience and focus can win. Many people think they’re just toys, but if you work hard enough, you can actually break a world record.
2. It makes school more exciting. It is just like engineering but with a piece of paper. It makes Origami way more fun.
What should happen next is we should not be told off if seen with a paper plane and schools should hold an Annual Paper Plane Competition and the person who flies it the farthest is the winner and gets candy. Thanks.
Kind Regards,
Shanshan Ren
