Building upon our recent lessons in mathematics, we have introduced an engaging activity that combines maths concepts with artistic expression. By utilising four fundamental shapes—circles, triangles, squares—we encouraged children to design and construct their own unique vehicles. With their imaginations soaring, the children crafted a variety of vehicles, including trains, spacecraft, and jet planes. This transdisciplinary approach fosters creativity while reinforcing mathematical concepts in an interactive and enjoyable manner.

Simultaneously, we conducted a small scientific experiment titled "What Kind of Boat Can Float?"

The children were provided with a range of materials, such as yoghurt containers, potatoes, sponges, blocks, and mud, from which they could create their own miniature sailboats. With the guidance of the teacher, they constructed masts and sails for their boats. Subsequently, they placed their creations in water to observe and analyse the buoyancy of each material. Through this hands-on activity, the children had the opportunity to explore and draw conclusions about which boat materials floated lightly on the water's surface and which ones sank beneath. This experiment blended scientific inquiry with hands-on creativity, fostering a deeper understanding of buoyancy and materials' properties.

During this week's activity, the children had the opportunity to explore the question, "Which paper airplane can fly the farthest?" Their exploration involved a series of guesses, experiments, and investigations, as they eagerly delved into the topic. Additionally, they enthusiastically engaged in the creation of personalised paper aeroplanes, adding their own unique touches. Subsequently, a paper aeroplane flying competition was held, where the children aimed to achieve the longest flight by throwing their planes from varying heights. This allowed them to explore different methods and techniques for maximising flight distance. Throughout this process, the children actively observed, compared, and experimented.

Moreover, through a range of activities centred around the "transportation system," the children not only learned the fundamental steps of scientific inquiry but also developed their observational, reasoning, and teamwork skills. They experienced the joy of creativity and exploration, fostering a genuine interest in learning.
