Last week, the children made boats for the cat in the Chinese Zodiac story to cross the river. This week, the children are learning about the polar regions. On Monday, we read a story called “The Runaway Iceberg”. The story is about two penguins that get stranded on an iceberg. They can’t get back to land as one of the penguins is scared of water. This afternoon, we learnt about floating and sinking and recapped our previous work on waterproof materials. The children were then set the task of making a boat for the penguin to be able to get back to land safely on. They had to use everything that they have learnt previously to create a boat that was waterproof and that floated. Good work everyone!
