This week we have been designing and making pirate ships. Firstly we investigated which materials are waterproof, so that we knew which materials would be good to use for our ships. We tested tissue paper, cellophane, silver foil and felt. We made predictions about which materials would/wouldn't be waterproof and then tested to see if our predictions were right. After our investigation we looked at pictures of ships and boats and talked about the different parts of a ship. We then drew a picture of what we wanted our pirate ship to look like and wrote down the different materials and tools we would need to make it. Once we had designed our ships we started making them. Take a look below at our finished pirate ships!
