Sticks and Straw

During this term, our learning will focus on the fascinating world of materials.

In Science, we will be exploring everyday materials such as wood, plastic, metal, glass, brick, paper, and cardboard, thinking carefully about their uses, properties and which ones are best suited for different purposes. We will also investigate how some materials can change shape and discover how recycling allows us to reuse resources again and again.

In Art and Design Technology, the children will put their knowledge into action by designing and building their own creations using a variety of materials. To bring all of our learning together, our English lessons will be inspired by the stories The Three Little Pigs and Building Boy, helping us to make rich connections across subjects.
