We have put together all our learning about materials to build a shelter for a toy and today we started this project.

We had to make a base and then choose materials for supports. Wooden sticks, plastic straws and paper or card cylinders were selected.

Then after careful consideration we chose a material for the roof, which was strong and waterproof. We discussed how to fix this on. Mrs Taylor was delighted to see different strategies being used, co-operation between friends and perseverance. Some of our toys are loving these shelters already. We will add more to them next week.
