Boat building

Our student teacher Mr Rone has to do a 'passion inquiry' for his university work. He has chosen to 'make boats' with Room 11.

We sketched our designs (in groups) and wrote a list of the materials that we needed to bring in. Today we started making our boats - here are some progress pictures so far! Next week, we will add the final touches and then race our boats in the school pool! We wonder which design will win...
