Our Trip to MOTAT

Yesterday the Marvellous Meerkats went to MOTAT to explore and learn about flight.

First we went to look at the exhibits. We got to play around in a room full of fun things. We also got to learn about some video games from New Zealand.

Then we took a train to the second part of MOTAT. We saw lots of big airplanes in a massive room.

Later, we got to learn about flight from Abby. We did lots of fun activities. Flight has four forces: Lift, Drag, Thrust and Weight.

We had lots of fun at MOTAT. I can't wait to go back!

The Marvellous Meerkats are Going to Mars!

Today we signed up to have our names go to Mars. Here is a look at our boarding pass:

We all got our own boarding passes. Maybe you can see them on our own blogs. You can sign up yourself right HERE.

Flight in Nature

This week we began learning about Flight. We talked about all the different things in nature that could fly. We came up with lots of different thing using Padlet. Have a look at what we wrote. Have a go and add something that you think we missed (put your name on it though, so we know who it was from). We're going to do some more learning about these things in the next two weeks so come back and check to see what we've learned.
