P1 AND P2 'LEARNING ABOUT MATERIALS'

Mrs Calderwood read the story ‘Where’s My Teddy?’ by Jez Alborough. In the story the teddy gets lost in the wood. P1 and P2 then did some experiments to see what teddy could use to keep him dry, if it rained.

They looked at four types of material

• plastic

• wood

• fabric

• paper

Before each experiment the children predicted what the result would be with either a thumbs up or thumbs down.

Will Teddy be dry under the plastic?

Will the wood keep Teddy dry?

Will Teddy be dry under the fabric?

Teddy got really wet under the paper.
