Can we label our school?

We have just started a new science topic all about materials. We have been thinking about the reasons why different objects are made from different materials - why do shoes need to be waterproof? Why do pencils have to be light and easy to pick up?

It was such a sunny morning this morning that we decided to go out into the school playground and make some lists of all the materials that have been used to build the different parts of our school. We saw glass, bricks, wood and lots of others.

How many materials can you see when you look carefully at our school building?
