Y5 Take off into Space
in the "Design a Rocket" project!

Y5 being briefed about "Rocket Science!"

How does a rocket defy gravity?
Science and Design Technology go hand in hand.

Also a lot of Maths involved!

The design is vital. Get the plans right first

Getting the pupils to be reflective about their work.

Mathematical graphs used to project the trajectory of the rocket being designed.

Rockets being made

Ours will reach the moon we think!

Ready for launch.
"Come in Houston"!

It's gone and too fast for the camera to catch

Next one ready for launch

We can beat that result.
This one will reach Mars!

Many thanks to Mrs Jennings for organising the project.
