This week in Science we compared some materials. We were tying to work out which were the most absorbent. We tested paper, sponge, tissue and cloth. Before our experiment the children made good predictions and tried to explain why they thought that material would be the most absorbent.  We then put the materials in pots of water and left them for two minutes. We took them out to see which pot had the least amount of water in them. Some children were surprised to find out that the tissue was the most absorbent. 

Today we used plasticine to make prints of objects around our classroom and used ink to transfer our prints into our art books!

 

We have continued to explore our new Science topic of materials, and this time we looked around the classroom to see if we could tally up and spot the most common material used in our environment!

We’ve discussed this week different surfaces and textures which can leave patterns and marks when rubbed with a crayon!
