In P1 we have been reading traditional tales and fairytales, one of which being The Gingerbread Man. After we read the story the pupils were given a challenge to change the ending of the story and save the Gingerbread Man.
The boys and girls used their STEM knowledge and skills to build a boat for the Gingerbread Man to get across the river safely 🛶
First, we discussed which materials wouldn’t be good to use - they said paper, cardboard or bricks wouldn’t work. We decided together that tinfoil would be the best.
Then they got to work making a boat which would be big enough for the Gingerbread man and would keep the water out!
The challenge was a success! Every boat floated on the water when we tested them out 👏
