Lift Off!!!!

This week is National Science and Engineering Week and to mark the event we held a rocket launch. Here is our rocket before lift off. We had to measure out a 3m exclusion zone round the rocket before a safety key was placed into the ignition launch pad and then !!!!

Here is our rocket in the sky. We used altimeters to measure how high the rocket went - about 50 metres. Pretty high!

We managed to launch the rocket again before the rain and then we lost the rocket when it landed in some very tall trees!
