Our rocket was Firey Dragon in our group there was me (Alex), George , Shane and Ross (who has

quit STEM club).

Even if we didn't get our rocket the highest (although we couldn't see it because of the clouds) it definitely went the furthest seeing as it landed on the rugby pitches. I think that it went about 85 metres.

Making the rockets took a while to do, about 5 or 6 weeks, but the finished product was definitely worth it. We decided to paint our rocket red, yellow and orange to go with the name Firey Dragon

One other thing that happened was that when our rocket landed the nose of the rocket got lodged into the ground because the secondary charge that was meant to set the parachute off ended up making our rocket hurtle back to Earth!
