We traveled to neighboring Hull today to visit the Hull Lifesaving Museum's exhibit Hoist, Heave & Haul: Simple Machines at Sea. After visiting the musuem we crossed the street to experience simple machines in action, the Breeches- Buoy.
The challenge was to create a Leggo design using a simple machine. No problem!
The museum was interesting until............The Breeches Buoy.
A breeches buoy is a crude rope-based rescue device used to extract people from wrecked vessels, or to transfer people from one location to another in situations of danger. 
It takes team work to get a classmate up and 3OJ's has plenty of that!
A fun day was had by all. A special thank you to our chaperones, Mrs. Donovan, Mr. Harrison,
Mrs. Leibovici and Mrs. Ross.
