Aerodynamic Testing

Our teams built paper aeroplanes and flew them in the Dinner hall. Well done to everyone, we all stood up and took turns.  Some people found it exciting, some people found it scary.  We are working together to help each other feel confident trying new things.

Amy and Ryan had the best team score.  An average of 8.45m per flight. Have you beat that?  Let us know.

Tag Rugby Festival 13th September 2013

P5, 6 and 7 played well and included everyone.  We had fun too!

 

Flight Workshop with Bill Graham on Friday 6th September

Bill Graham is an engineer.  He visited us as part of the International Science Festival.  He told us about flight.  He explained about how people invented flying machines which travel in our atmosphere, like aeroplanes.  He explained about machines which travel in space, and how they get outside the Earth's atmosphere.  They are called Spacecraft.

Bill showed us the Mars Rover he built.

Bradley and Joshua are remotely controlling the Rover.  They are watching the pictures it sends back to the screen by radio signal.  It would take 30 minutes for the signals to travel back to Earth from Mars.
