Boat materials

Today in Science, the children took part in an assessment activity which involved the children selecting materials relating to their properties to create a boat. We read the story Handa’s Fruit and discussed the problem e.g. a boat to carry Handa’s fruit. The children had to create an individual boat which would carry an orange. We then tested the boats in water and discussed the following questions: which materials did you use in your boat? What did you find out about the materials? What kind of material worked best? Why do you think that material worked the best?


Making pizza wraps

Year 2 really enjoyed making their own pizza wraps, making soup in the mud kitchen and making homes for different characters.
