Saturday Morning Rocket Club

The Saturday Morning Rocketry Activity finished, quite literally, with a bang on launch day, the final Saturday of term.

Parents and grandparents joined the children in the middle of the school fields to launch each rocket after a suitable countdown. The strong gusts of wind caught one or two rockets by surprise and led to some interesting flight paths! All the rockets returned back to earth, usually with a streamer slowing their descent, and one cleared the school campus and was found in a local road.
