Frankie Bear is feeling very jealous that Archie Bear went to Lakeside and he didn't get to go. He asked us to make him a tent, so we thought we had better find the best material to make one.
We tested 6 different types of material and thought about the good things and bad things about each one. We worked together really well.
Holly counted carefully to 60 each time!
We found that the apron material would be the best one to keep Archie or Frankie bear warm and dry. Jayden thought the paper wasn't good because it wasn't waterproof and because it tore when it was wet. Daisy thought the thin plastic wasn't good because if it was hard rain it would break. Aiden thought the wool was soft and warm, but wasn't waterproof so wouldn't make a good tent.
