Rocket Science

This week, half of Year Six are in Austria on a skiing trip. The remaining children have an exciting project to complete by Thursday. It is called 'Rocket Science'.

Today we used books and the internet to find out about Space and Space Travel.

We put our information together into a presentation which Mrs Davies will judge tomorrow

We also had to design our rocket, adding any interesting features that could gain us points.

Tomorrow, after our initial presentation we will continue by furnishing and crewing our rocket with 12 luxury items and 12 people we would most like to accompany us to space. We will also spend time composing our 'BLAST OFF' music, before we actually launch our rockets, using water propulsion and a handy kit that Mrs Davies bought from Techniquest!

Keep up to date with Pontyclun's very own Rocket Scientists every day this week.

• Marvel at our ingenious designs!
• Learn from our well researched presentations.
• Wonder at the bizarre objects your child would take into space!
• Ponder our choice of crew members.
• Listen to our 'Blast Off' compositions (if Mrs D can get the recorder to work).
• Gasp at the maiden flights of our rockets (again, if Mrs D can get the recorder to work)!
