Linda and Leo are new students at Rosie Bridge School. Last month, they attended the Clubs Fair.
First, Linda and Leo learnt about the Rocket Club.
“Our club will teach you how to build rockets. Then you can launch them into the sky,” a boy said. “Watch!”
He took a rocket and launched it. The rocket disappeared into the sky. Linda and Leo were very surprised.
“Will it go all the way into space?” Linda asked.
“Of course it won’t,” a girl from another club shouted. “Our club is better. Come and join the Solar Power Club.”
“What do you do?” asked Leo.
“We make wonderful machines. They only use solar power. Look!” She took a toy car from the table and then used a remote control to drive it all around the playground.
“It uses power from the Sun,” said Linda. “That’s amazing!”
Linda and Leo learnt about many clubs. After the fair, they felt very excited.
“I want to join all the clubs,” said Linda.
