Writing and Maths Preparation

We have hit the ground running for our first day back. 

Today in writing we watched a video clip about a boy travelling to the moon in a rocket. We began discussing what holiday we would travel back to and throughout the week we will be sharing our diary/recount with others. Lets see what the week will bring and where in the world we will travel back to.

In the afternoon we began creating our own rockets. We will be using the rockets during maths to record how far each rocket can travel. We will be looking at mm, cm, and m. 

Who will create the best rocket?

Below are some photos showing the process of making our rockets.
