The Great Boat Race

Last week THIRD CLASS continued with its SCIENCE WEEK activities by hosting THE GREAT BOAT RACE.

During recent weeks, the class were investigating Floating & Sinking objects, and also which materials would be best to move an object across water.
The challenge after that was the build a boat to take part in a Boat Race.
After a number of days testing and altering their designs, the class had their opportunity to race their finished products against each other.
After a number of heats, Josh Radley and Tom Folley contested the final and after two races, it was Josh who claimed the Boat Race title. Well done Josh!!
