To pass we had to look at the person we were passing to with our hands in W shape. To catch we had our hands up ready.

Technology

We are learning to:

• Define specifications (features/ properties) for a boat that will float
• Design a boat that floats
• Create a boat and test/observe whether it floats
• Reflect on the results and discuss any changes you would make

We designed a boat using what we had learned in science about floating and sinking. We looked carefully at the materials we used, as we wanted the materials to be light and waterproof, so that they wouldn’t soak up water and sink. 

Science

Floating and Sinking

WALT: to make predictions and then test our predictions

Leo chose an object from the classroom.

He then

• asked the question; will it sink or will it float?
• made a hypothesis stating what he thought would happen
• tested his hypothesis by placing his object in the water
• observed what happened and reflected on his hypothesis
