• Investigating materials in Reception

  Tue 07 Mar 2023 Miss Blackwell

  After reading the story 'The Three Little Pigs', we discussed the materials the pigs had used to build their homes. We knew the bricks were the strongest material but thought of other materials they could have used. 

  We decided to go and investigate the different materials our school was made from. We talked about why these types of materials were used for particular structures. The children noticed that some things had to be waterproof and windproof. We are going to continue our investigation next week and test what materials are waterproof and windproof in class!
