SLJ (W4/A34): Step it up Float Your Boat

 LI: To create a canoe as well as a square end boat and show the results.

The above presentation is the sixth task for this week of the Summer Learning Journey that I have completed today. For this Step it up activity I started by watching the introduction video that explained the challenge, which was to create a paper canoe and square ended boat. This time we were also supposed to see if the boats were durable and tested it by adding weights to it. I watched both the video tutorials and found making the square ended boat quite challenging as it had many folds. When my boats were ready I checked there durability by adding sharpeners on them. I had a total of fifteen sharpeners and the canoe could hold all of them whereas the square ended boat could hold twelve of them. Probably the reason was because there was very less space and the end of the boat was unstable because it started to fall apart. I really enjoyed completing this activity because I tried something new and learnt how to create different types of boats as well as got a chance to improve my origami skills. I am excited to do other Summer Learning Journey Tasks.
