A hands on day, using this well-known traditional tale we will look at different materials used to build houses. We will consider if they are natural or man-made. As we recreate the story we will build and construct with straw, sticks and bricks for our little pigs, but will our houses be strong and stable? Will the wolf manage to blow them down? A fun and interactive day. Can be adapted to include more traditional tales upon request.
