• To find out how the shapes of solid objects made from some materials can be changed by squashing, bending, twisting and stretching..
Working scientifically skills
• To observe closely.
• To perform simple tests.
• To identify and classify.

We will also be making connections in English ,reading and re-telling The Three Little pigs, looking at the suitability of their building materials.
As such our class read will be The True Story of The Three Little Pigs’ by John Sciezca.
This is a relatively short book so we will also start our next topic book The Great Fire Dogs as pre-learning for our next topic The Great Fire of London.
