STEM WEEK

The children used the book 'If I built a house' by Chris Van Dusen as inspiration for the week.  To start topic the whole class worked together to create a house as a role play area.  They had 6 panels, golf tees and tape to use.  There were some very ambitious ideas for the materials they had on offer but after some adjustments they created a free standing shelter which they were all very proud of. 

They also created their own blue prints of a room for Sunny the meerkat before making a shoe box model of their design.  To conclude the week they investigated which material would be most suitable for a roof for the role play house.

The children had a great time with lots of them saying it had been the best week.  Possiblity down to the fact we were all back together again.  A great way to start back!
