As part of Year 1’s D.T. topic of Houses, we had a visit from Technology Tom. Tom showed us just how strong card and paper can be when it is folded or rolled. We even tried out these ideas by building some very tall structures.

We then set to work in groups creating our own structures, which would house the Three Little Pigs. We thought carefully about our designs to make sure they were wolf proof!

Here are some images from the day.

Today Year 1 have had a visit from Lori, who is part of South Tyneside’s Road Safety team. She spoke to the children about how to stay safe when walking on the pavement, and how to cross a road safely. Lori explained that there are four important things to do before crossing a road.

Stop

Look

Listen

Think

The children were also told about other ways of crossing the road including using a pedestrian crossing, lolly pop person and a zebra crossing.
