Year 1 had lots of fun with our solar airship.
It needs a still, sunny day to fly and Monday last week was perfect.
The sun heats up the black skin (which is as thin as a human hair) and this heats up the air inside. The warm air makes the airship rise – it looks very strange but is great fun to see.
