Building Boats

This week we have been constructors and we have made boats. Some fantastic creations were produced. Then we tested them to see if they would float! It was wonderful to welcome Mr Sprakes into our learning and he was so impressed by the craftsmanship and quality of our boats. #LovePlover

Will it stick? Is it magnetic?

This morning Mason wanted to know why the train had an extra piece at the back. We spoke about magnets. This led to an investigation with the whole class on which materials in our classroom were magnetic and to see if we could work out why.

We discovered that some metal things were magnetic and lots of objects weren’t magnetic like the glass window, the wooden easel and the plastic chair.

F2 Pride of Plover

Well done to Astral and Aaron. Astral has been showing courage when she has found her learning difficult and is blossoming in all her learning. Aaron has been showing respect and kindness this week, checking in if people are ok. He has also been making some good choices. They are both superstars.

Will my boat float or sink?

The children showed their craftsmanship and quality skills today as they made their boats to match their designs. They were very excited to see if their boats floated. Most of them did and for those whose boats didn’t float, they gave ideas as to why.

Will it float or sink?

Yesterday we did an investigation to see which materials float and which sink. This was part of our planning process to figure out which materials are waterproof and float, so we can use them to make our boats. #LovePlover
