Focus:
The class will be exploring all about buildings and construction. We will investigate the buildings around us including our very own school and each child's home. The students will have fun building things of their own and also using team work to build together. The last week we will focus on the story of the Three Little Pigs. The children will experiment to find out what makes a house strong. They will practice their sequencing skills by re-telling and acting out the story.
