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
We may need to get a major search party out. Great footage thank you Mr Hustwick. Hopefully someone can spot it in the drone footage. Great project Rūma Kēreru.

Hello ruma kereru. I enjoyed looking at your posts of your rocket. It seems like the rocket is getting better and better. Its a bit sad how the rocket went missing. Using a drone is a quite helpful idea. I hope you find your rocket soon.

Kia ora ruma kereru, Rocket launching looks really fun and I think it cool how you guys attached a tiny camera to the side of it so you could see it from the bottles perspective. Ka pai.

ReplyDeleteKia Ora Ruma Kereru, The rocket challenge looks like so much fun. It surprised me how high some were and how much water Exploded out of them. I have enjoyed looking through this post and the two videos. How long did it take you guys to make them?

Hello Ruma Kereru, The idea of launching rockets is a really good idea and I think it was good that you were able to learn from your previous rockets that you made. And adding a camera would have made it even cooler! Hope you are able to find the rocket soon. From Hamish
