The girls were learning about rocket dynamics this week. They constructed their own stomp rocket designs and then viewed some dry powder rocket flights, making their own predictions about the speed, height, etc.

The start of term is nearly upon us and we have two events this term that we would love you to attend. For more information visit: stswithuns.com/how-to-apply/…
