We have been developing our scientific knowledge and understand of materials and how they are used this week. After discussing the properties of different materials the children went exploring inside and outside looking at objects and recording what materials they were made out of. 

Interestingly their survey showed that the materials we could see used the most in and around our classroom are wood and plastic. They had some good ideas and made suggestions why these materials were used the most and how versatile they are.
