We have been discussing the features of different houses and we have been designing our own dolls house. We have looked at houses from the past and the present, comparing features on older houses and more modern houses. Then we designed our own dolls house and started making them using materials they had selected. We had to select the strongest materials so our houses would be secure, therefore we tested the strength of our materials and found that wood was too strong to cut and paper too flimsy but cardboard was stronger, easier to cut and quite light.
