Evidence of water map
For KS1 water lessons pupils could mark on a map of the school grounds places where water might be found. They should take photos of any ‘clues’ even if there is no water visible (for example, guttering).
They could also investigate where water that falls as precipitation goes once it hits the school’s roof or playground. Pupils could take notes, draw a sketch and take photos and then create a display which sequences this movement: ‘Water’s journey through our school grounds’.
Where would you…?
Do puddles form everywhere? Are some places better for puddles than others? Can you make the best puddle ever?
The UK has a temperate climate, meaning that it sees its fair share of rain fall across the year, but do we enable pupils to get outside and play in all weathers? What if pupils were tasked with creating a wet play area? What would they include and whereabouts on the school grounds would they create this wet play space? Pupils should try to explain and justify their decisions.
