Flying our Rockets

On May 30th, me and my class flew our bottle rockets. Which was just a bottle no fins no nose cone just the bottle itself. This was just to test out how far it went and what modifications we could do!

We used 55 psi and 200ml of water.  The weather was good but its just the wind. The wind was going south. So our rocket turned and it slowed down. I think the weight of the water probably weighed the rocket down causing it to not go far. Our rocket went very high but I think it could go higher and further. Next time we do it I think we have to put less water!

Teachers striking day!

Why did I have a day off on strike day? The reasoning the teachers went on strike is because the teachers all over NZ were getting to much work to do! And they had to work after hours like at home or in the weekend. 

For the hours that they worked they did not get payed extra for working at home. They went striking to get us a better education. So they could have less workloads and they can focus more on things in class and let us learn more!

Definitely agree on the reason why they went on strike. I also think that it is good for them to go on strike not only cause we get a day off but because they are trying to get less work, so they can actually have time in the classroom to help all the students who need help.
