Very good to meet your parents at the meeting last night. I tried to involve them in making straw rockets or a glider but not too much success. Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Cormack for their rocket, depicted in the previous post. Perhaps the buffet and wine were too much of a distraction. Thanks also to the staff of Pearse House, particularly Wendy and Hannah for preparing the buffet and setting up the rooms so pleasantly.
I am sure mum and/or dad returned with a few suggestions and have told you some of the things that you may be trying next week. I am really looking forward to the challenges and having loads of fun, whilst learning about space, rockets, forces and absorption.
The first photo shows Sam's mum and dad working hard on their design, whilst the second shows Claire and Isabel's mums talking about the merits of space exploration with Tracey, who will be one of our helpers on the Tuesday of the camp.
Hope all the parents found the evening session both informative and constructive. I shall post again shortly with some useful website addresses that may help with your space studies.
Jonathan
