Thankyou for looking at my resource.

In this lesson children will learn that they are helping the Three Little Pigs set up a building business.

Preparation - Each table will need a set of materials. The teacher will need materials during the input. Each table/partner/individual will need a plastic cup and a pipette.

They will start by rewinding to their previous learning. Children will work through two rewind tasks with a partner. They will identify the name of every materials and then identify an everyday object , its use and the materials it is made from.

Children will be given a problem. One of the pigs has made a house but they have forgotten the roof. Children will use their prior learning from the previous lesson to discuss what properties a roof needs to have. Children will then be taught about waterproof and absorbent.

Children will be introduced to the experiment they will be completing. Although children wouldn’t be completing a full science write up they will be involved and introduced to the stages of an experiment such as the method and the equipment list.

Children will start by making predictions about what materials they think will be waterproof and which they think will be absorbent. Children will be challenged to discuss how they made their decisions through conversation with their partner.

After completing their predictions children will complete the experiment which involves placing different materials on a cup and seeing how much water is left on the surface of the material.

Children will finish by reflecting on their results.

Stem sentences are used throughout to support oracy.

Helping hands - Children will be provided with a scaffold to write up their responses.
Chilli Challenge - Children will think about what further properties the waterproof materials need to be a suitable roof.

After their experiences with the big bad wolf, the three little pigs have set up their own building business. Things keep going wrong in the business and they desperately need your expertise to help them. All lessons start with children solving a problem that can only be solved using the LO. Research has shown that when children learn through problem solving and having ownership of their own learning they develop a deeper and longer lasting understanding. Lesson 1 - Naming and identifying everyday materials. Problem to solve - Shopping list is vague - what materials do the pigs actually need? Lesson 2 - To know the difference between object and materials. Problem to solve - Pigs have delivered the materials not the objects. Lesson 3 - To describe the properties of everyday materials. Problem to solve - Pigs are arguing over what is the best material for a chair they are building. Lesson 4 - To investigate waterproof and absorbent Problem to solve - The pigs have built a house with no roof. What is the best material to build a roof? Lesson 5 - To sort materials. Problem to solve - How to sort the items to pack for the new houses. Powerpoint user guide Throughout children are encouraged to rewind on prior learning through rewind sections. Children are also exposed to fast forward where they will see how their learning applies to future learning (be this the next lesson or in future years) Chilli challenges encourage children to maximise their learning. Challenges should be given to all. Not just your most able. They are purposely open ended. The ‘differentiation’ comes from how your most able access the task. Helping hands provide children with additional supports to allow them to access the main learning.
