Liam’s Boat

Liam found a large cardboard box that he decided to paint red and blue.

Liam, with some help from Brianna created a boat with the box.

“It’s a boat and this is a propeller. This bit makes you go in the water and float. It spins. Me and Brianna put a lid here and this is the steering wheel to drive”.

What learning is happening here?

Liam demonstrated wonderful creativity when making his boat. He used his understanding and prior knowledge of boats to build different parts of the boat such as the propeller and steering wheel. He used a variety of materials and used his problem solving skills and collaboration to build the boat.
