The boys and girls in Mrs Merron's class have been busy building boats! Today was the day we found out if they would float or sink, and guess what??? All the boats floated! Well done!
Some one made a boat out of a sponge and they very kindly let us see if it filled up with water would it sink? Even with lots of water in the sponge it didn't sink. A boat had a heavy sail on it and it fell over to the side, once it started filling with water it sank. We noticed that some boats were small and some were big but they all floated. One of the boats even had a balloon attached to it and when we blew it up it went flying in the water tray once Mrs Merron let go.
I hope you have fun seeing what floats and sinks at home! You could make a prediction (guess what will happen) first.
