Our young astrophysicists in action 🚀

🪐 🚀 Our Primary 3 children are learning about Space. They are developing their knowledge on the planets, gravity and how rockets work. As part of their home learning they were asked to make a rocket or spaceship using the recycled material they could find at home. What a great bunch of astrophysicists we have in St Joseph’s!! 🪐🚀
Fun facts:
The rocket was invented by the Chinese while using gunpowder. The first rockets were shaped like arrows and were not very fast. Most rockets still work by fire. The fire makes hot exhaust gases that expand and shoot out the back. This makes the rocket go forward.
