Which material can we use to stop Freddy Teddy getting wet in the rain?

Today we looked at some different materials and thought about which ones would be good to make a raincoat for Freddy Teddy!


We felt the materials and chose ones that we thought would be waterproof.  We used a watering can to pour water like rain onto the materials and we looked into the pots underneath to see which ones had let water through - these were not waterproof! We found one that did not let any water through, this was waterproof. We were fabulous scientists!!!

Wellie wednesday Dinosaur swamps!

We had so much fun out on the field this afternoon making a big oozy squelchy dinosaur swamp! We've been thinking about dinosaurs after Ian Whybrows visit, we enjoyed moving and hiding like them outside today! We used our wellies to stamp and churn the mud and mixed it with water to make a swamp! Then we made a dinosaur track to follow on some wallpaper! After this some of us worked hard digging up soil to look for special rocks and fossils!

We loved reading - The Sun and The wind!

Today we read the story of 'The Sun and The Wind'. We talked about the story language and broke the story up into beginning middle and end. We all had fun making our own story book of The Sun and The Wind! If you want to look at the story at home here's a link to the version we read and listened to...
