We have been learning about everyday materials and identifying objects made out of metal, plastic, wood, paper and fabric. We identified objects and the materials they were made from and then searched our classroom for different objects and their respective materials. Then, we learnt that when describing different objects and their materials, we call this ‘properties’. We looked at foil, for example, and realised that it was shiny and light. Once we had a good understanding of different materials, we sorted them into different categories. For example, rough, light, heavy and soft.

We conducted our own experiment to see which objects would float and which objects would sink. We predicted which objects would float or sink and completed an observation by watching to see which object floated or sank. After our experiment we shared what we found with our class.
We have been learning about materials that are waterproof and non waterproof. We classified materials into each group and discussed which materials are suitable to build a waterproof shelter. We designed our shelter and created it using materials such as plastic bags, foil and cardboard. Have a look at some of the waterproof shelters we created!
