Science - floating and sinking...

As part of our topic work we looked at boats today. We had investigation sheets and we had to predict whether or not different boats would float or sink! We did very well with our predictions, and remembered that it is not as easy as light things float and heavy things sink! We even had a go at making our own boats out of plasticine, which went rather slimy when we put it in the water...things got rather messy in year one today! Lots of people made some brilliant models of boats out of playdough, and even put masts and sails on them! I turned round to see a train coming in to the station in the role play... everyone had assigned seats and even tickets were being collected.. (although I think there was a little bit of confusion over the directions!)
