Science - How can we classify materials?

 Today we worked really hard to build our understanding of materials and their properties.

This led nicely onto classification of materials - which we look forward to doing more of next week!

Today we learned that a continent is a group of countries. We learnt that there are seven continents and we learnt the names of them.

We then had a go at practising reading and performing some of these poems before learning a little bit of Please Mrs Butler by Allan Ahlberg off by heart.
