Our boat

 The boat

Yesterday Koka Pip told us to find a buddy because we were making boat only out of 2 thing butcher paper and tape and lucky we got to work with scissors as well. I was in a team with my friend Betsy we were planing to make the NZ boat but it was very hard. First koka Pip got us a big roll of paper and if we wanted so we had to go cut some of it. Since it was our first time getting a piece of paper we decided to get a lot. each team started of with one roll of tape each and us much paper us we wanted. There was one rule it had to be 20 cm or longer otherwise we would get disqualified.

The first thing we did was to start the boat of was make a the easy little details like the sail's and the hydrophile and left the bottom of the boa for last. For us to know which way we were going to make the sail's and the other thing's me and Betsy both did the way that we wanted then at the end we would see whos was better. And that is what we did to all the pieces until we got to the end it was the hardest part the bottom. The bottom was the hardest for us because we had to put tape on all of it so it could help it float. Me and Betsy both made one side of the boat each and then cut them so they could be the same size. Then we taped them both together then taped all the sail's and other things on.

The next day early before school started I took some thing's of and replaced them with better thing the a platform so it was more steady.  Later on that day we tested out the boat's we knew that ours was just going to fall over and fill up with water. We went to line up outside of the pool with our boat's. I lined up at the end of the pool getting ready to put my boat in the water 3,2,1 we put our boat in the water and yes we were right it fell right over and filled up with water but it did not sink. But overall it was super fun to make it was a good day.
