Knock! Knock! Who's there?

Year 1 had lots of fun building different types of shelters as part of their topic work this half term about houses and homes.

We made shelters using different materials. We talked about which materials would make the best shelter.

We had fun putting up a tent. It was big enough to fit 20 of us inside.

We made a shelter using different types of plastic. We needed pegs and a goal post to help it stay up.

We created a tepee using natural materials. We made a tripod using sticks and then covered these with pine branches and leaves.

We made a shelter by joining newspapers to string tied between a tree and the hedge.

We built a den using cardboard. We made boxes to build our walls and used flat cardboard to make the roof.

We made a tent from pieces of fabric. We used lots of different sheets to make the cover and the floor.

Which material do you think would make the best shelter?
