More water rockets

We really enjoyed launching the water rockets. We thought these ones were extremely exciting. We loved these ones because they went so high up in the air. One rocket went so high that it landed on the roof. We hope the super Mike will go up and get it soon.

Fizzy rockets

Today we made fizzy rockets. We used water and our rocket fuel (vitamin C tablet) We put a small amount of water in the tube and added the fuel and waited for blast off. The fizz forced the lid of the tube into the air. We were amazed. That is until we launched the water rocket!

The Earth, the sun and the moon

We are learning all about the sun, the moon and the earth.

We used a huge bouncy ball as the sun, the little football as the earth, and the tiny magnetic ball as the moon.

We were able to spin these around, just as the planets and the moon spin in space.

We are learning a great song about the planets too.

Water rockets

10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1......Blast off!

We are learning about space at the moment.

Today we launched our water rockets outside.

This was so exciting.

We all had a turn launching the rocket (though it was easier with teacher's help).

One of our rockets landed on the roof, but we hope that our wonderful caretaker will help us recover this rocket!
