Year One had to fight the Great Fire of Hillside this week! As part of their Science learning they posed the question, what would be the best material to make a bucket? They tested the materials, used super vocab, made expert predictions and then raced to put out the fire! They found the answer when the glass won (it was a bit bigger and plastic really!) closely followed by plastic and metal which the children had all seen in real life make excellent buckets – for cleaning windows or playing on the beach! Ask them why a glass bucket wouldn’t be great in real life! 🪣 🔥 💦
