School boat festival – A2 English Reading Test

School boat festival

Elena

Our class heard about the school boat festival in our science class. Our teacher explained that we had to make several different boats so we could learn what makes boats float on water. First, my group made a sailing boat, but when we sailed it in the school swimming pool, it sank because there were holes in the wood! So, we decided to make a boat from old plastic bottles and that didn’t sink under the water!

Astrid

The boats our class built for the school boat festival were amazing. Our technology teacher showed us a video about how boats and ships are built. Then she told us to make a model of a ship using wood, plastic and metal. After that, we had to make a short film that explained how we made our model of a ship. Then we took our models to the local park and sailed them on the lake.

Kumiko

We were really excited and stopped talking when the headteacher told us about the school boat festival at our whole school morning meeting. We decided to make a model of a Viking long boat and give it to our English teacher because her husband is Danish and she’s leaving at the end of the school year to go and work in his country. We didn’t want to sail it on the river in case it sank!
