The Endeavour

This morning at Investigations we finished making our sailing ships, The Endeavour.  Some of our ships made the sailing from England to New Zealand.  Some didn't!  Some of us needed to try to make our ship several times to see if we could improve our design, especially without holes in it so it could float!
We made our ships out of foil, kebab sticks, paper and blue tac.  We looked at The Endeavour at the museum on Friday and noticed that there were 3 main masts and lots of sails for the wind to blow the ship around the world.
We are now wondering whether we would like to have been coming to New Zealand on The Endeavour or whether we would have liked to have been in a waka coming to New Zealand.  Which boat do you think you would have liked to come to New Zealand on?
