Year 4
In Year 4 we made some amazing Hovercrafts!
We started off the week researching what a hovercraft is, who uses it and its purpose.
For our research task we looked up what a hovercraft was and what the purpose of the hovercraft is. we found out alot of interesting information that we did not know before, for instance we found out that hovercrafts protects lives across the world's most challenging environments.
