Maureen, one of our outdoor ladies this week, decided to put out a variety of objects out for the children to explore in the garden.  There were a couple of very large pools of water on the cover of the boat and Maureen wondered if the children would notice them.  She put buckets, string, scissors and sellotape out and positioned them near the boat.  It wasn’t long before some of the children spotted them and began a conversation about what could be done.  They decided it was ‘Power Water’ – Ellis thought it gave you superhero powers.  Then the conversation turned to how to get the Power Water out.   In the end, string was tied to the buckets which allowed the children to reach the water with them.  They tried to use the biggest bucket but it was too heavy to pull up, so they set about emptying it with the wee yellow one.  ‘Look it’s peeing!” said Archie.  There was clearly a hole in the bucket.  Undeterred the boys decided that this was actually a design feature- the yellow bucket would fill the black bucket and the black bucket would overflow- emptying they Power Water onto the ground.  Great teamwork and problem solving Ellis and Archie!
