Rising Rockets

 For inquiry this term we did the "Wonder Project" which is essentially were we had to design and fly rockets out of plastic bottles. 

Before actually creating anything we had to study physics and Newtons 3 laws, then we had to design a rocket that'd be aerodynamic and fly through the air at a high speed.

I was in a large group with Zoe Cowles, Olivia Ionita, Sophia Turnbull, Pandora, And Zara. 

We had our last flights a few days ago, and ended up coming 3rd. It didn't do very well because we had forgot to even out the weights in our nose cone.

Now we must create a video/skit explaining what we did through our experience and how, and once it's done I'll add it to my blog.


Have you ever designed a rocket with a plastic bottle?

Flying turtles

 Kia ora everyone, 

This year we've been learning coding. We have progressed from Scratch to Python and were challenged to create a psa showing a global  issue.

This was a simple- yet decent- animation, however the app doesn't give you the option to save your project due to some complications in their country, so I tried to create a basic storyboard featuring photos from it. As you can see these were the only proper photos I could get from it.


My psa is about trash and pollution. It isn't amazing because I made it 5 minutes

Here is my code script- it's incredibly basic compared to everyone- but who cares.
