Ballooning fun at Somerlea Park school



AIR travel was the theme of the day for children from Somerleas Park Junior School in Somercotes when they made their own hot air balloons.
Every class had a different theme as part of design technology week with children from year four investigating air travel and year five looking at music production.

Clare Butler, deputy head teacher at the school, said: "One of the areas we focused with was the making and release of hot air balloons. Children made their own balloons as well as helping make two giant balloons from tissue paper and glue. It got very messy.

"The balloons went up 30 feet and came back down. The children found it very exciting and absolutely loved it."
