Sorting Materials

This term, we are exploring materials in Science. We will be distinguishing an object from its material, describing it's properties and discussing a materials suitability. 

 

This week, we sorted different materials in our groups. First, we identified what material the objects were made from. Then we sorted the materials by their properties. We came up with lots of different properties including: rigid, soft, flexible, transparent, opaque and many more. 

 

We even found that some objects could be sorted into multiple groups. For example, the glass could go in both the transparent and hard group.

Helping at Home

Ways to help at home

  • Read every day
  • Practise your spellings and common exception words
  • As you read spot the sounds in words, can you find digraphs (two letters that make one sound) and trigraphs (three letters that make one sound)?
  • Count in 2s, 5s and 10s forwards and backwards
  • Learn your number bonds for all numbers to 20 (e.g number bonds to 7 are 1+6, 2+5, 3+4, etc.)
  • Practise telling the time to the hour, quarter past, half past, quarter to and as an extra challenge to 5 minute intervals (five past, ten past etc.)
  • Practise letter formation using the correct pencil grip and develop fine motor skills (peg pressing, picking pasta shells/rice with tweezers)
