Cecilia's Rocket

Cecilia has been working on her box construction rocket for a long time. She got a bit stuck when she wasn't happy with how it was looking so she had a break for a while. When this happens it is important to talk to your friends or a teacher to see where to go next.

After talking with Mrs O, Cecilia used a picture on the computer to give her some more ideas about what to add next. She decided to make the end pointy but couldn't find anything the right shape. Mrs O showed Cecilia how to make a 3D cone shape by using a circle shaped piece of cardboard or paper and then Cecilia had a go using some cool silver bubble wrap. Now Cecilia can teach others how to make this shape for their projects!

Cecilia has also added yellow fabric to symbolise the fire and has added stuffing underneath for the clouds of smoke that come out when a rocket takes off. We love the painted designs on the outside too - Kohara even helped count backwards to blast Cecilia's rocket off into space (or the trophy cabinet!) You got there in the end Cecilia!! Well done.
