Last week as part of our learning for ‘The Three Little Pigs’, we planned and drew a house for the three little pigs. We discussed which materials would be suitable to make a ‘strong’ house. We thought that the lego bricks would be a good choice.
This week we have been testing our houses. We have seen if they could withstand an attack by the big bad wolf (Miss Tillsley’s hairdryer!).
We really enjoyed testing our houses. We noted that the tall thin houses were less safe than the wide houses. Some of the children changed their designs several times, experimenting until their house was strong enough.
