Creating rockets

On Funday Friday we were able to let our imaginations run wild.  We went out into the sunshine with LOTS of materials and made rockets.

First we talked about what rockets look like, what shape they need to be to fly, what they are made of and the different parts of a rocket ship.  We thought about designing our own rockets and what we wanted them to look like.

Mrs Shirley loved the way Rawiri spent a long time designing his rocket on the whiteboard.  He showed the rocket fuel exploding from the rocket and had nine windows for the astronauts.

Jackson and Boston collaborated to make this enormous rocket.  They had to think hard about how to join the two tubes together and they had to decide how to include both their ideas.  Well done boys - your rocket is amazing.
