Week 6( the second test launch)

  Hello bloggers,


Two days ago(Tuesday 6th of June 2021) we were doing a second test flight, our group(Hafsa, Jaymalyn who was not here on the day, Musawir, Aarna and me)was the first one to go. Musawir was the one who pumped the air, Hafsa has recording it, Aarna was watching Musawir pump the rocket while I(Wynette) was writing down what happened. The first time it flew, it only flew a few inches away from the ground, I thought it was *mediocre. Then, when we did the second test flight( my group was doing the same as last time, with different PSI and the water pressure) it flew I think almost two metres high. After that, I wrote down what happened in the first flight and the second flight. It was fun watching other groups and classes rockets fly.






*mediocre - good but not the best

Wonder project( rocket making)

 Hello Bloggers, yesterday we were making rocket for the Wonder project! We went into the hall and we watched a short clip about what we were going to do. After watching it, went back to our classes. When we got into our classes, we got a piece of thread/string, got our bottles and tried to find the center of mass. When our we found the center of mass, we then had find the center of pressure. It took some time for our team to find the center of mass and pressure. Then everyone's team had to trace their rockets and cut it out, before out team traced it out, we took off the fins, removed the tape carefully and then traced it. We hot glued the fins back on in the afternoon, unfortunatly we were the last group to finish. Now all we have to do is make sure the *nose cone stays on and test it.



*a nose cone is the top of the airplane or rocket

What I was doing at home instead of going to the Auckland Zoo trip

 My school went on a zoo trip, but I didn’t come because I was very sick. At home my Mum was taking very good care of me. I was sick for almost two weeks. I had to take *antibiotics every 12 hours, so even in the middle of the night! One night I woke up in the middle of the night. My mum was watching TV as usual and I was feeling a bit weaker than before, my mum gave me my antibiotics and I went back to sleep, it seemed like I had a high fever that night. When I woke up in the morning I went to my mum and asked if I had a fever last night and she said yes. At that time I remembered when my brother was sick and I woke up around 11 or 12 PM and saw that they had got Mcdonalds so I ate with them in bed. I thought it would taste really good but it was satisfactory. I remember when I watched a few videos, since those videos were good and I was bored, it was mediocre for me. I was very happy my family took care of me.


*Antibiotics is a liquid medicine against biotics

Wonder project!

Hello Bloggers, 

Today we were looking at aerodynamics. We were learning about thrust and drag, and we were also making paper air-planes and saw which one flew the farthest and which one flew the shortest and why. And then we walked back to class to make some rockets! We made the rockets out of bottles and some cardboard with tape to hold it together. Our team's rocket is unique! It was very fun making two rockets.
