Hot Air Balloon and Principal's Awards

This morning we had a bit of excitement on the tennis court. Jacky and Bree each received a Principal's Award for their recount of the adventure. Ka pai, Jacky and Bree, we are proud of you.

In the morning we got to watch a hot air balloon. We were excited. We had to stand on the white line because it might have been dangerous. We made the hot air balloon but it didn't work properly. I can tell you why - because the cotton wool was too close to the balloon. The teachers had to hold it. When it was ready the teacher put the fire on the cotton will. It floated up but it burned the hot air balloon. It was amazing. It burnt like an 'S'. Jacky

On Wednesday we went with Room 4 and Room 6 to the tennis courts to launch our hot air balloon. We used a naked flame, but when we launched it, it … well … it did go up but it burst into flames because the flame went up inside the balloon. It was amazing to watch. Bree
