The boat challenge

This week the children have been given a challenge to design and make a boat using anything from our junk modelling collection. The boats designed have been very varied, from sailing boats, to ferries and even the Titanic! As a class we decided it would be a good idea to wait until the glue had dried, before testing them out. The whole class were gripped by the activity and couldn't wait to do the 'testing'. Some boats floated, some sank or were too top heavy and toppled over. The ones that weren't successful were scrutinised by our expert boat makers and adapted or redesigned.
