STEM Week in Nursery

24th Feb 2023

We took on the challenge of making rockets that would blast off into the sky!  We started by colouring in our rockets.  We then had to stick a plastic pipette on to the back of it.  Friday was our launch day.  We all got our rockets and a straw.  We put the straw inside the pipette.  We had to take a big deep breath to fill our lungs up with air.  We then blew into our straws and loved seeing our rockets blast off!  After a few test runs on the mat, we decided it was time to go outside.  There were lots of squeals of delight as the rockets went up in to the air!  We had to be careful not to bite our straw as this stopped the air getting to the rocket.  Some boys and girls had the bright idea of climbing on to some of the outdoor equipment first and then when they launched their rocket, it went even higher!  Great work boys and girls!  Challenge successfully completed!
