Boat building and Cooperative games

This week we have continued to learn more about boats and buoyancy, floating and sinking. Students worked with a partner to create a boat from tin foil, plastacine, popscicle sticks, cardboard and tape.  Then they tested their boats to see if they would float and if the boat could hold a load. 

We are going to engage in a cooperative game day in our class on Tuesday, during which time students will practice sharing their favourite board games with their peers. Students will have an opportunity to practice their presentation skills as they explain the rules and objectives of their chosen board game, and will further enhance their team building and collaborative skills through community play. So, please send in your child's favourite board game and please ensure that the game is clearly labeled with your child's name.
