Making Rockets and a beautiful day at Pūtikitiki

 This week for our science experiment, we tried making rockets using straws. We followed the instructions from the Science Kitchen Book again. 

Children made rockets with coloured paper and put the straws into the paper pipes they made. They blew the straws and saw how far the rockets flew. 

I really enjoyed listening to their discussions about how they made the rockets fly. As some struggled to blew the rockets, they were trying to solve their problems by sharing their own data and collecting their evidence. 

It has been a wonderful week as spring has finally come to New Zealand. We are really enjoying beautiful sunny days. One of the days, we were in our t-shirts and really enjoyed exploring the natural environment at Pūtkitiki.
