This week we have had a virtual live visit by some little piggy’s and a big bad wolf!
The pigs challenged the children to work together in groups to design and build a strong house that would protect them from the wolf.
This challenge acted as a fantastic stimulus to help the children mind map their ideas about what they would like to learn next term for our topic ‘Houses and Homes’.
