Boat Making!

We had a great morning one Tuesday making boats. We had a range of different containers and children worked in pairs to create and decorate their boats. Once they had made them, we tried them out in a big tub of water outside. We wanted to know if our boats were strong enough to carry some teddies in them, so we had a go. We were very impressed with our strong our boats were and how many teddies they could carry! Some children tried to make rafts as well and what we learnt is that the rafts made from sticks were not as strong as the boats made from containers. Mrs Yates and Mrs Lydiard were very busy and didn't get the chance to take many photos but here are some to help you see what we were doing!
