Starfish

This week we read our book of the week ‘Toot and Pop’ at the beach.  Pop is tugboat who helps an enormous boat called Toot.  We did some brilliant writing about the story. 

We played a game in pairs.  One of us was Pop and one of us was Toot.  Pop had to pull Toot.  We used seaweed as the rope.  We then swapped over so we each had a turn being Toot and Pop.

After our snack Mrs Cotton showed us how to make a boat.  Each of us decorated a sail and stuck it to a straw and then put our sails in our boats.  We dug a ‘harbour’ and then floated our boats.  We worked together to dig some rivers and harbours, floated our boats again and then made some tin foil boats to float. We then took all our boats to the estuary and floated them and the current moved them along and they floated into the harbour we made earlier.  We had such fun with our boats today!
