The Three Little Pigs

This week we have been identifying and naming 3D shapes with Mrs. Warran. We have been constructing 3D shapes, to help us understand and recognise their properties. We had to really concentrate and persevere as we assembled 3D shapes from their nets. We were delighted with our results. 









At Forest School we found Rupert the wolf’s tail stuck in a tree. Ariana suggested we should venture down in to the forest to look for more clues, to see if Rupert has been living there. And guess what we did!  Ariana found some squishy mud and commented: ‘I think Rupert walked through this mud and then went into our classroom and left his muddy paw prints on the table!’ 
However, we think Rupert has been living there with someone else. We found a pile of sticks, a stick house, some pig footprints and a brick. So, we think the friendly wolf has been living with the 'Three Little Pigs'.



In class we worked collaboratively to build our houses and tested their strength with the huff and puff of the wolf (Mrs. Warran’s hair dryer). This was very interesting! As we predicted the straw house was blown over and the brick house stood firm.
