Rocket rockets week 2, rockets can't fly!




Hello, is there anybody there?

The rocket rockets have had a good week, well, some of them have, and then some of them have not!

Here are Ethan, Reuben and Joel Bean's rockets....


The are growing really well and two weeks on look a bit like fat cress leaves.

Then there are Mattie, Jacob and Mum's rocket rockets...




What can we say about them that is polite, well, not a lot really, maybe that they are trying?

The thing is their rockets didn't have as much seed so were struggling anyway, then they decided to fly. No, really, we aren't joking! They flew through the air, propelled by our dog jumping up on the window sill, knocking the front of the tray with her paw and catapulting them weeeeeeeee through the air. Only it was more weeeeeee plonk really, plonk upside down on the carpet. Mum was really cross with the dog. It turns out that rocket rockets can't fly and so after trying to put the compost and weedy seedlings back into the rockets, we can only keep our finger crossed that something amazing happens and they get some extra energy from somewhere.


(P.s Mattie was heard muttering something about buying an already grown rocket plant and sneaking it in)


3 gardeners, and 2 new space craft owners signing off
