Homework (first week back)

Welcome back! I hope you've all had a wonderful half-term. It's great to be back with 2B, the children have worked extremely hard today.

This week we have a very important piece of homework because it will be used in class as part of a science experiment. The task is to create a boat that an explorer could use to sail the seas. As always, you can be as create as you like, any materials can be used. Please allow your child to create the boat with little support so that it really is their own invention!

The boats must be brought into school by Sunday 11th November, however they can be brought in earlier. Please do ensure that the boat has your child's name on.

Next week we will test the boats to see whether they can:

1. Hold a lego man explorer called Vasco da Gama.
2. Stay floating on the water for at least 1 minute.

The experiement will also include predicting, observing and evaluating.

I'm already extremely excited to see the boats... If you can e-mail or bring in any photos of the boat being built, that would be fantastic!

Thank you.
