A good science investigation - which shoes would be the best to wear for our own bear hunt? We tested the shoes on grass, water, ice and mud. As this is aimed for younger children there are different ways you could approach the sheet: Reception - fill in as a class Year 1 - fill in in groups Year 2 - fill in individually Children will say what they think about each shoe whether they will work in each different situation (my children said that they think the slippers would get soggy in the water and the sandals would mean your toes get cold in the snow etc.) They can then predict which ones they think will be best. And finally they can say if their prediction was right and what happened.
