Science
What a great start to our week! We have begun a science investigation to find out which materials are most suitable for building a house for the Three pigs to live safely from the big bad wolf! First, we recapped the names of the materials that we were investigating (wood, metal, fabric, plastic, paper) then made predicted whether we thought the material would/would not be waterproof/windproof by using our thumbs up/down. Next we tested materials to see if they were waterproof/not waterproof and windproof/not windproof. We had great fun using a 'hairdryer' for the wind! After testing a few materials, we found out that wood and metal were the most suitable as they were both waterproof AND windproof! Ask your child to explain the meaning of waterproof and windproof to you.
