14/01/2026 – Making Rockets

The class spent an exciting and creative day designing and building their own rockets, inspired by the story Beegu. They were using recycled materials found in school.

At first the students designed a rocket by drawing and discussing their ideas. Next they made a start with making their own rockets using their preferred materials found in school. 

They worked collaboratively at first, building their rocket and exploring where materials should be placed and used for specific things. The main materials they used were cardboard, bottles, tubes, and foil to construct unique rockets, thinking about shape and detail. 

As they built, the children shared ideas, solved problems, and helped one another, showing great teamwork. The day ended with everyone proudly presenting their rockets and explaining how they built it and what they used.
