In Commando Joe, Year 4 are currently completing missions to help rescue a baby gorilla. Today, they had to work in small groups to make a raft to safely transport him over the lake.

They had to think carefully about which recyclable materials would float and which would keep him dry. They designed and built small rafts, and then tested them on water to check if they were suitable for the gorilla.

The children made excellent rafts and each group managed to create a boat which floated and also kept the gorilla dry!
