Vardon was very lucky to have "The Egg" balloon, piloted by Andy, visit our school during the 'Balloons over Waikato' festival. Unfortunately as the weather was too windy for full take off we settled for watching the egg being inflated and then tethered on the ground. It was still eggciting!
Here are some balloon facts our class learnt:
Balloons
come in many shapes and sizes. (Jaedyn)
It is best
to fly balloons in the morning because the wind is normally nice and calm and
the balloon won’t get blown away. (Adam)
You always
fly a balloon down wind. (Georgia)
Balloons fly
with hot air. The hot air flame is made with L.P.G gas, just like the gas in
our heaters and bbq bottles. (Kade and Baki).
Balloons can
travel for approximately 2 hours. (Oisin)
Balloons are
made of nylon and the basket is made of cane. (Joseph)
The driver
of a balloon is called a pilot. (Mac)
