What an incredible fleet of rockets you launched into our inbox this month! Each design showed a different way to turn everyday scraps into something extraordinary. Some rockets looked ready for deep-space exploration, others carried alien crews, and a few were so beautifully decorated they could have flown straight into a sci-fi story. We loved every imaginative detail and were truly inspired by your creativity. Choosing our winners was no easy task – every entry had its own spark.

We're thrilled to reveal our four winners!


Alice, age 8, Picklescott

“Hello! I am rocket 13 Catmobile. I am setting off from Planet Earth to go to the moon to collect moon rocks to see if they are cheese. It is a very important mission. Because Planet Earth needs some help using up all of the stuff that goes in the bin, I am a recycled rocket made of a grape punnet, a toilet roll and some black paper packaging.”


Autumn, age 9, Manchester



Elisabeth, age 10, Stockton on Tees



Natalia, age 12, Newbold on Stour

"I found lots of recycled materials in my house. All they needed was cutting into shape and painting."


 

Runners-Up

Daisy, age 12, Westerkirk
