Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been investigating whether materials can change shape. The learners explored a range of materials and found out that some are able to be changed in certain ways and others cannot, for example a sock can be stretched but a drinking can cannot be.
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about natural and man-made materials. The learners worked hard in groups to sort some natural and man-made materials and also found many of their own examples on a welly walk around the village.
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne went on a material hunt on their welly walk this week. The learners did a great job of finding the materials they have been learning about. Some examples of these were fabric curtains and flags, wooden benches and poles, glass windows, plastic bins and metal fencing.
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been on a material hunt around our classroom and in our outdoor area to see where we could spot the materials we have been learning about.
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have started learning about materials. This week the learners have worked hard to identify and compare different materials and they have thought of a variety of adjectives, such as hard, shiny, soft, rough and cold to describe these. They have worked in groups to decide how to sort some objects, for example some learners chose to sort them into smooth or bumpy. We also sorted the objects into the different materials they are made from; wood, fabric, metal, glass, paper or plastic.
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about George Seurat. To begin with, the learners practised and experimented with using pointillism before moving onto creating their own final pieces of art linked to our theme of ‘rivers’. The learners have created some amazing artwork that they would like to share with you all!
