This term, Primary 2 have been learning all about canals. To bring their learning to life, the children took part in an exciting STEM challenge, designing and building their own boats!

Working in teams, the pupils used a variety of materials to create boats that could float and move along water, just like boats on a canal. They discussed their ideas, shared roles, and worked together to solve problems as they tested and improved their designs.

This hands-on activity helped develop key STEM skills, including planning, experimenting, and evaluating, while also encouraging teamwork, communication, and creativity. The children showed fantastic enthusiasm and resilience, especially when designs didn’t work first time.

Well done, Primary 2, for your brilliant teamwork and imaginative boat designs!
