The Year 1 children have enjoyed being scientists. They amazed us with their knowledge of the properties of materials from the Autumn term, which supported their investigative work on ‘Floating and Sinking.’ After predicting and investigating which objects would float or sink, the children tried to make their ball of plasticine float. It was tricky but they had fun experimenting with different shapes. Finally, the children used junk materials to make boats that floated, testing them out in the water tray.
