 Hello everyone,

We’ve had a fantastic week in Year 1! On Tuesday, the children took part in an exciting STEM science workshop all morning, all about materials. They identified various materials and sorted objects based on their properties.

Next, they carried out an investigation to help the Three Little Pigs choose the best fabric for their curtains. After that, the children became engineers and worked together to build a house for the pigs using only 12 toothpicks and 20 jelly sweets.

The children had a wonderful morning—it was lovely to see them so engaged and excited throughout the activities. We hope you enjoy the photos below!
