Boat Design



Today we had to design the boat that Isabelle and her family might escape on. I decided since we already had a little boat, to build a roof made of materials around the house. My mum helped me sketch the design on paper. I would add four bamboo poles to hold a roof such as corrugated iron to shelter the family and shower curtains to block the rain and stay dry. I would get these materials from my bathroom (Shower curtain) and the roofing on our sleep out (corrugated iron).

Materials: 
Corrugated Iron - For the roofing to shelter the members on board the boat. 
Bamboo Poles - To hold the corrugated iron (I would cut the bamboo to the appropriate size). 
Shower Curtains - In case rain comes inside the boat, they will be able to shelter themselves with the shower curtains.

Extras:

Other extras I would add would be a fishing rod to catch food along the way and I would bring some land food as well such as meat and snacks like chips and pasta. I would also bring a gas cooker to cook the fish and extra food. 

Entertainment:I would pack on board a notebook and pen to write about my days on water and I would pack a sketchbook too.
Before you leave remember to pack your suitcase from last week!
What would you pack for entertainment on board the boat and why?

  1. Hi Ella, I love your drawing of your boat. I like that you used shower curtains. My boat is made of plastic bottles and duct tape. For entertainment I would bring a book and a notebook and pen. Do you prefer drawing your work on paper rather than google drawings?

  2. Hi Ella
    I love your boat. I am impressed that you thought of shelter against rain and sun (elements). I love the detail, your drawing and everything. How many people would fit in your boat?
