This week, Robin Class began their "Once Upon a Time* topic by reading *The Three Little Pigs*. We had fun learning actions for the story and practising its repeated phrases, ready to help us retell it in our own words.

The children created collage pictures to retell the story. In Drawing Club, they also enjoyed drawing the Big Bad Wolf!

We started exploring different materials and discussing why the brick house was the strongest. We used new words such as strong, sturdy, weak and bendy. We spotted materials around our classroom, including wooden cupboards and doors, metal chair and table legs, plastic seats, glass windows and fabric cushions.

We also compared wooden, metal and plastic toys, talking about how the materials look and feel different. To finish, the children sorted wood, metal and plastic items and used them to create a materials collage.

Inspired by the Three Little Pigs, the children designed and built their own models using recycled resources.
