Our film included children in both classes in year 3 (61 pupils), along with their teachers and another teacher who helped to edit.
They tested a variety of clothes to see which absorbed the most water, and which the least — and hence worked out whether pyjamas would be a good choice for keeping you dry in a downpour.
This is just delightful. Utterly, utterly charming, and a brilliantly funny experiment. Behind-the-scenes it must have been an immense task, coordinating so many participants (yes, there really were 61 of them).
It’s a shame the picture quality is so poor, but it’s still a superb piece of work, and a worthy winner.

A very creative way of reporting science. Did the children mind gettng wet?
