The week, Year One wanted to investigate which material would be the strongest material to build a house for The Three Little Pigs.
Firstly, everyone made a prediction of which would be the strongest. Some children thought straw, others thought sticks and others thought bricks. Then, the children used a fan to see which material was the strongest and did not move when it was blown by the Big Bad Wolf. The children tested the straw first. It blew everywhere! Then the children tested the sticks and they blew across the ground. Lastly, the children tested the brick and it did not move! The children could explain that the brick was the strongest material. They recorded their results in a table and ranked the materials from strongest to weakest. We had so much fun!
