We needed to make sure that it would float, stay strong and be waterproof. We learned about the different parts of different types of boats like the hull, propellers, anchor, rudder etc.

We learned to use teamwork to create them so after that we tested them in water to see if they could float and most of them could float.
“Our boat sank when we first tested it in water, then we realised the flag was too heavy so we took that off and tested it again. It now floats!” Holly A and Evah
