Mrs Arbuckle was cleaning out the “duck pond” and put in new, clean water.  Some children came along and tried to float their Lego planes.  “Can we make boats to sail ? “ they asked.  Why not?  STEM learning at it it’s best!  We decided that we would need card, paper, straws, sellotape and scissors….and a lot of patience!

The children were encouraged to design their own boats.  No instructions were given.  We then looked at each of the designs and some people decided their design had to be modified or “ a big wave would sink it!”  So we tried again.  Next we added the sails and decorated our boats.  Then it was time to test our boats.  Success all round!
