Which house was the best and why?
 
Reception decided to test straw, sticks and bricks to find out which material is the best.
 
What do we already know?
Tabitha – “Straw would blow down when it is windy.”
Sonny – “Straw is too soft too and rain came down you would get wet!”
Steven – “The straw is too thin.”
 
Charlie – “Sticks are wood and they need to be stuck together and put bricks on the walls to make em stronger.”
Macie – “You will get wet and soaking with sticks.”
Mally-Ray – “Rain could slide through he sticks.”
 
Bethany – “Bricks is strong!”
April – “If the roof was made out of something like bricks the wolf can’t blow it down.”
 
How can we test it?
 
Elsie – “The wolf huffed and puffed smoke came out.”
April – “His oxygen blew the house down.”
Lacey K – “His breath not smoke blew it down.”
Charlie – “When you breathe it comes out of your mouth.”
Lacey M – “Breath is like wind.”
Steven – “We could all blow together?”
Dylan “At home Mummy dries her hair with a hairdryer and it dries quick so it is strong we could use one?”
 
We decided to try both ideas
                             
The straw blew away, the sticks stood still and the bricks did too!
 
Amelia – Grace – “It gone everywhere the straw.”
Dylan – “The sticks were just a bit wobbly.”
Elsie – “The bricks were strong and didn’t move at all.”
