Room 2 and 3 study boat design.

Both year six classes have finished the term by studying boat design. At The Auckland Maritime Museum we looked at how technology has aided boat design over the generations. We saw outriggers, sailboats, steamboats and a display showing the latest in New Zealand customs vessel design.
Our Float-that-Boat competition was a great way to finish the term. Sixty students made boats for home learning and each was then entered in one of two categories - either the glitz and glamour category or the sporty and aerodynamic category. A class of year 2 students were invited to watch, and they were so inspired they went back to class and wrote about what they had seen.!
