Our Rocket Challenge has grown into a total class focus that we can't seem to shake. Having Belinda's bottle go almost 800mts, (its like a fishing story, the distance grows every day), over Mr Martin's fence and into his tree was fantastic. Thank you also to Mr M for getting his ladder out too.
We decided to attach a tiny camera onto the side of the Rocket and launch it again. First Launch, not great, the angle of our launcher was too low. The second launch was much better, almost straight up. BUT, it did a 180 turn and headed up into the tailings behind school. Mr A went for a walk after school from both all angles and found the bush was too thick to access. We thought our rocket might be lost forever.
Mrs King knew a wonderful man by the name of Mr Hustwick who had an amazing Drone. He send that up and took high definition video of the area our rocket went into. We spend the next hour spotting bears, bodies, yetis and cranes in the high definition videos. See if you can spot any of those, or our bottle. Good Luck
