How High Will it Fly?

 Today we are going to launch a aquarocket into the air and beforehand have to estimate what will happen why and how high it will fly. I think that rocket will build up water pressure and launch into the air at around 50 to 55 feet high. Here's a piece of writing to explain the process of launching a water rocket using an aquapod.

Do you know how to launch a Rocket? Today I will be explaining how to launch and aquapod rocket. An aquapod is an orange platform used to launch a water rocket.

First you have to fill your bottle 1 third with water and then you have to attach it to the aquapod by holding the aquaod upside down and screwing the bottle onto the valve with a rubber seal to stop the water from leaking.

Secondly you have to attach an air pump to another valve on aquapod mechanism and then you have to pump air into the bottle to create air pressure.

Finally you have to pull the string to release  launch mechanism that will release the air pressure and as it does it creates force allow the water rocket to launch into the air. 

In this piece of writing I have explained how to launch a water rocket using an aquapod.

Here's a link to the video of the lift of.

Ballerina

 This week I finished my writing early so I got to write my own poem about  whatever I liked and I chose to write about ballet because it's something I really enjoy doing. I enjoyed writing about the beauty of ballet but found it challenging to find rhyming words. I think next time I would add more detail about the movements she makes.

My Brain

This week we have been learning how to write a poem about the favourite part of our bodies and I chose my brain because it allows me to do so many amazing thing's. I enjoyed finding rhyming words but found it really hard to find things that my brain can do.Maybe next time I would add more things and give it more rhyming.

Mini golf Area

This week we have been learning how to find the area and perimeter of a square or rectangle. To practise this we had to design and measure our own mini golf course. I enjoyed designing my mini golf course and I also liked learning how to find the area although it was rather challenging at first. Next time if I had gotten a little more time I would have liked to add a bit more curves and obstacles to make it more complicated. Have you ever played mini golf?
