Hello everyone,
Today my Dad helped me build a boat from recycled materials. We used a shampoo bottle, rubber bands and ice-cream sticks. It was so fun to do. We tested it in the sink. Here is the video.
To support my learning I ask you to comment as follows:
1. Something positive - Begin with a greeting. Talk about something you like about what I have shared.
2. Thoughtful - A comment that will mean something to me to let me know you read/watched or listened to what I had to say. - use any language.
3. Something helpful - Give me some ideas for next time or ask me a question.
Encourage me to make another post
Kia Ora Mark,

I really enjoyed this activity as I used to love making boats with my brother and racing them down the creek!
I think your boat looks awesome and it is great to see that it is made out of recycled materials and that it floated well with a passenger in it!!
What did you enjoy about this activity and what did you find challenging?
Keep up the good work and I hope to see more of your posts during the Summer Learning Journey!!

Dear Zana,
DeleteThank you for your comment. I needed help with cutting the shampoo bottle. My dad helped me with that. I enjoy seeing the propeller turn and make the boat move.
Kia ora Mark,
ReplyDeleteIt’s Fiona from the Manaiakalani team. It is great to see you having a go at this boat building challenge with your dad. I like the way you have chosen to do the step it up challenge to create a self propelled boat - well done!
I think you have done a fabulous job of designing and creating your boat. I really enjoyed watching the video you posted of your boat motoring around in your sink. Have you tried it in a larger body of water? I wonder how far it would go?
Keep up the great work. I look forward to seeing more great quality posts from you during the summer learning journey.

Hi Fiona,
DeleteI should have tried it in the sea when I went for holiday but I didn't. The boat is in the recycling bin now.
