Rafts (Science – 3rd and 4th)

Our story in English this week was based on a group of children who were stranded in the Rainforest and had to build a raft to get out. We decided to have a go at building our own rafts and see if we could make it out of the jungle. We spent time planning and designing our rafts and got to put them to the test in science class. As we couldn’t get on them ourselves, we used bricks to represent passengers. Some fantastic design variations were on display and there are certainly some budding engineers in our class…..I guess this project just really floated our boat!
