Commentary Once we had done the creation of the hats it was time for the practice part. We went out into the sun, first of all looking at the shadows that it created, is your hat protecting you from the sun; have you got sun on your face. The children were able to go into the sunshine and actually see whether their hats, whether their brims had protected them. Teacher/student interaction Teacher: Let’s make a hypothesis, let’s make a guess. Who can make a hypothesis or a guess about their hat’s going to do? Student: I think … *In audible* Teacher: When we were outside the children also made a hypothesis about whether or not they thought their hat would work. Teacher: Ok, so … said I think it might fall off. Not sure. What’s your hypothesis? Student: I think it might stay on very well because it’s got elastic so it could stay on very well. Teacher: Ok … thinks hers will stay on really well because it’s got elastic, so she thinks it’s, pretty secure. On your mark, set, go. What did you say about your hat? And, what happened. Student: Um, these bits will flop and they did. Teacher: Yep, so your hypothesis, well I think these bits are going to flop and when you ran I could see them. They were flopping around like this. Commentary An activity … like our sun hat creation takes in all of the learning areas, we try and integrate in the junior primary and build it across all learning areas. Teacher/student interaction Teacher: Girls, your hats! Student: They stayed on. Teacher: They have stayed on so well. These hats were super secure, well done. © School Curriculum and Standards Authority, 2016
