Let's make a boat

Date: 12th May 2022 @ 12:15pm

This week our Word of the Week is 'sail' - when a boat is moved by wind e.g. 'The boat sailed around the world on the sea.'

The children wanted to make their own boats, so in science we followed some simple instructions on how to make a tin foil boat. We then used a straw to blow our own 'wind' and see if the boat would sail. Most of them did.....a few did sink too! The children enjoyed exploring why they thought this was.
