It is rocket science!

What a morning! Mr E's friend Steve Clancey came to visit this morning and he is a real life rocket scientist. 

He has worked for years helping to build rockets and planes!

We had an amazing discussion about planes, helicopters and rockets - Rūma Tahi was very keen to share all their prior knowledge and ask very clever questions.  Have a chat at home tonight and you may want to google the different planes to jog your memory 

- Spruce Goose (made out of wood), Osprey, Blackbird,  Gyroplane, Beluga (it carries other planes!). ummmm a Russian helicopter that could carry a bus!

Hmm that is all Miss A can remember for now.

I was impressed to learn that rockets can be used multiple times!

Dear Steve Clancey,

Thank you for teaching us about planes.

When I am bigger I want to learn some more. I hope you have a good journey would you like to come back to Tauranga?
