In Science, we have been learning about materials. We received a letter from the three little pigs who have asked for us to design them a house. So we  have been testing materials to see which would be most suitable for building .

N.C. Pupils should be taught to use the following practical scientific methods, processes and skills through the teaching of the programme of study content:  asking simple questions and recognising that they can be answered in different ways  observing closely, using simple equipment  performing simple tests  identifying and classifying  using their observations and ideas to suggest answers to questions  gathering and recording data to help in answering questions. 

Pupils should be taught to:  distinguish between an object and the material from which it is made  identify and name a variety of everyday materials, including wood, plastic, glass, metal, water, and rock  describe the simple physical properties of a variety of everyday materials  compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of their simple physical properties
