Cruise into the holidays with Paper Planes
Paper Planes is an imaginative children's film about a young Australian boy's passion for flight and his challenge to compete in the World Paper Plane Championships in Japan.
Twelve-year-old Dylan lives with his father in the West Australian outback. One day at school Dylan discovers he is extremely good at making and flying paper planes. While attempting to refine and develop his newly realised ability, Dylan finds himself caught up in the world of competitive paper-plane making, leading to new friendships, new rivalries and new revelations about his own family.
Rated G, the film is a perfect option for middle to upper primary students in the last days of term. And to put their new flight understandings to the test, students could hold a paper plane competition of their own following the film!
