As part of our new Materials topic we had a challenge this afternoon. We had to use junk materials brought in from home to make bugs and beasties which represent our reading groups. We looked at the materials wall to remind ourselves of different materials and their properties. Would we need materials that were soft, strong, hard; made of plastic or paper or cardboard?

Each group had a Materials Manager who had to choose what we needed. We were able to use paint and glue as well.

Here are some pictures of us. Mrs Sutherland says sorry for anyone who came home displaying an over enthusiastic use of paint.

Tomorrow we will look at what we made and talk about what went well and what we could do to improve.
