In year 1 we have been learning about some traditional tales, including the story of the Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf. We were challenged to build a house that would be able to withstand the huffing and puffing of the wolf. As Mrs Graham was not thrilled about us bringing a real wolf into school we decided to use a fan instead. The children worked in teams to construct their buildings using a variety of materials, and then tested them. Designs were changed and improved if needed, and we talked about which materials made the best houses and why.
