This week my friends came over and we were bored so we decided to do a summer learning journey to get us doing something. first we got our materials like sticks,flax leaves and a tree twig. Next we tied the sticks in a square shape with the flace leaves. Then we also tie the twig on and for decoration you can make a pipe cleaner person. Their you have a winning boat.
Kia Ora Layla,

What an awesome Nano Girl activity I used to love making origami boats when I was a kid and racing them down the river with my brother!
I think you did an amazing job introducing and explaining the activity and what you enjoyed and found challenging. You completed this activity in a very scientific manner.
It is great that you included a photo as well so we could see how your boat turned out.
What would you change about your boat to improve it?
Keep up the good work and I hope to see more of your posts during the Summer Learning Journey!!

Kia ora Layla! How awesome that you and your friends chose to keep active by designing a raft together and to collaborate on a Summer Learning Journey activity! I love the addition of the pink pipe cleaner figure too. Did you have to travel far to find water to float your raft? Thanks for sharing a picture of your work! I hope you and your friends continue to team up for other SLJ activities during the holidays. I look forward to following your summer blogging. Nga mihi, Naomi (Manaiakalani Facilitator)

I love that you and your friends got out there and collected some natural materials to make a boat. I just spent some time with my nephews and we tooks some sticks and leaves down to a river to do some stick and leaf racing. Now I'm reading your post, I'm thinking next time we should make a couple of boats like yours and race those! Where did you guys take your boat out to? It sure does look like a winning boat. Did it beat any other boats? What do you think you could do next time to make the boat go faster? I also have another question - if you were to try and do another boat experiment, would you rather change the design, or the size? Or perhaps both!
I look forward to seeing more of your awesome experiements. Keep it up!
Ngā mihi,
Ruby
