In Rewarewa children listened to the story if 'Captain cough a lot!'. As a group we discussed things a pirate would need, and we all agreed that a pirate ship was one very important thing!!

The children then made their own 'pirate ship' after watching a step-by-step video on youtube. At times it was tricky folding the piece of paper, so it was great to see others helping those who were finding it hard to fold their piece of paper.

Their task after making their boat was to estimate how many marbles their boat would hold before it would sink to the bottom of the container.... Hmmm, some children estimated their boat would hold only 4 marbles before sinking. But one pirate ship held a record 28 marbles before sinking! WOW!!
