Everyone welcome! # Year 1 Science- Identifying Materials ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/84E28E02-AABB-4A1C-89BD-6CC89695FEFE.jpeg) 9 January 2025 Today in their science lesson, Year 1 explored four common materials (wood, plastic, fabric and metal). They then sorted objects into a Venn diagram based on the material that they were made from. To help them to identify what an object was made from, Year 1 looked for key characteristics such as whether it was soft, shiny, hard, brightly coloured and strong. They even challenged themselves to find objects that were made from more than one material. They found that whiteboard rubbers were made of both wood and fabric, the sellotape holder was made of both plastic and metal and the Rekenrek was made out of plastic, wood and metal. Well done Year 1- you were all super scientists. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/84E28E02-AABB-4A1C-89BD-6CC89695FEFE.jpeg) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Science](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-7859E759-71AA-4C5E-99B2-3B9DE1079090.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-09-year-3-r-e-how-did-the-arrival-of-jesus-change-the-world) Previous ### [Year 3- R.E- How did the arrival of Jesus change the world?](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-09-year-3-r-e-how-did-the-arrival-of-jesus-change-the-world) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/D7412D37-4A9D-4A72-B8DE-03B159E5A286.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-09-reception-pe-street-dance) Next ### [Reception PE - Street Dance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-09-reception-pe-street-dance) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
