Walk and Talk       Flexible Friends

Draft Outcome

Through creative play I have experienced a range of different materials. I can show that different materials are useful for different purposes, giving reasons for my ideas.  SCN 013X

Walk and Talk

After observing and talking about the materials they have seen, both inside and outside the classroom, focus on why objects are made of a particular material. Why railings are made of metal and not plastic? Why is the matting under the climbing frame made of rubber? Why is the skate park made of concrete and why is its surface made of metal?

Explore materials and rank them according to their flexibility:
