Poor Hattie the Hedgehog has no house! Her roof was blown away in the big storm and now she needs to find a new roof that keeps her dry. This was the problem our P1/2 class faced today.
We decided Hattie needed a roof that didn't let the water in so we split into three groups to test various materials for their WATERPROOF qualities and had great fun discovering the, rather messy, results! Have a look at our photos to see how well we worked within our groups to build Hattie a house, create a roof and test for waterproofness.
At home time it was lovely to overhear the children pointing to different materials and discussing what would and wouldn't be waterproof. Science can never start too soon! :)
