The Superheroes of Year 1 were set a buildign challenge. Our story in Literacy has been ‘The Three Little Pigs’ and in Science we have been learning about materials. Our challenge was to build a house. Our house would then be tested to see if it would blow down (luckily by a hairdryer not a wolf!). After we tested our houses we either went to try a different material or we could make our house stronger and test it again. We learned “the tall towers were blown down”, “the small house in a square didn’t blow down” and “the houses with gaps are not the strongest.” Our final challenge was to then build some city walls as a class. We each had Kapla or wooden blocks and had to work as a team to put our own bricks in. We then tested it and only some of the walls fell down! Well done Super scientists and brilliant builders!Â
I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house down…
