Senior Infants were required to come to Teddy’s rescue this week. Poor Teddy was caught in the rain and he was so sad that he got wet! So he asked for our help to find a material to make his umbrella from that would keep him dry when it rains again!

So we set to work! We gathered lots of different materials and we tested them to see if they would keep teddy dry. We tried paper, fabric, plastic, tin foil, cardboard and even cotton wool. We found that materials that were made of plastic, like cling film, kept teddy dry as the rain water didn’t go through. Unfortunately materials like paper, cardboard and fabric were not very good at keeping teddy dry as the water soaked through and made him wet!
