rocket launch

 this is our group k2b2w rockets launch work. the last launch that we did was yesterday (Monday) as you can see on slide five it didn't go as planned. I think it is because we were testing with more water on that day but the water pulled it down and it was to heavy for our rocket to go high.

fire night!

On Sunday I stayed at the emerald in Gisborne with my grandparents for the weekend. At 2:00am in the morning we got woken by an alarm. It was a fire alarm saying evacuate the building at the nearest exit point. I was really scared and nervous because I had never been in this situation before! Hamish my brother, my grandparents and I quickly put on our shoes and went down the exit point which was a bunch of stairs leading down to a door to outside. Once we had reached that point we walked around to the entrance of the building where the other people were coming. about 1 minute after that the fire truck came they checked out the building where the red light was pointing and there was no fire they said it was malicious. They gave us the all-clear and we went back up to our rooms and went back to sleep. But about 2 hours after that the siren went off again! so we went back down and the fire truck came again and this time it was in the car park so a firefighter went to the car park and again there was nothing there no fire nothing. Everyone was getting annoyed at this point because it was now 4:00am in the morning and a man and his son had to travel to Wellington in the morning so they needed a good night's sleep. And the firefighter said it's malicious wich means someone did it they didn't know how at that point but it was so annoying. The people who worked there didn't have any security cameras so they had no evidence of who it was so they put us back to sleep and I tried to stay awake because I didn't want to be woken again. Luckily the people or person didn't do it again so we went to sleep and in the morning everybody was so tired!

orange blast

This is me Kaycee and Khan's rocket that we made today. Its name is called orange blast we named it that because we saw the name of the plastic bottle that we re-used and decided that was the name that we will go for. We used plastic sheets for the fins that Declan got in for the class. We used a cold glue gun to glue the fins and other materials on to orange blast. We are really happy with the result of it.
