A message from Tim Peake!

A special delivery

We had a special delivery of a rocket "Are we ready?" We counted down from 10 BLAST OFF! We worked out the harder we stamped... ...the higher the rocket would go!

Rocket balloons

We blew balloons up to make balloon rockets We tested one to see if it would work The balloon moved when all of the air came out We had to predict which one would be the quickest "The green one won!" We recorded the results of our test

Sending a message to Tim Peake

Miss Paton brought some balloons in! Some of our balloons floated but some sank We had to work out why they were floating This one went to the top The orange balloon had helium in We attached a letter for Tim Peake Ready to release our balloons "Look how high it's going!"
