# Oak Tree - Sensory materials

In Science this half term, Oak class have been exploring different materials and their properties. We explored different materials through lots of sensory exploration. We explored metal, plastic, wood and ‘glass’ objects. We learnt that we could see through the glass and enjoyed looking through the magnifying glasses and practicing good eye contact with our adults in class. We built towers with the wooden blocks and explored washing plastic cutlery to bring our learning into a real-life context. Well done everyone for their hard work in Science this half term!
