An object is a thing that you can see or touch, but not usually a living plant, animal or person.

On your table are lots of objects. Discuss in your group what you can see.

A material is what the object is made from.

These objects are spoons. What materials are they made from?

Can you say what is the same and what is different about the next two items?

Now use the objects you have on your table to discuss what material you think they are made from.

Here is a word bank to help you fill in the sheet provided to identify objects and materials.

What are the similarities and differences between cities and countries?

What do you remember about different settlements? (Use Geography books to look back on previous learning)

Using a large space, if available, or cubes if not, ask the children to show each settlement (like we did outside in Autumn 1) 

A country is a land that has borders, that is controlled by a single government. They can be large or small. Countries have in them many villages, towns and cities.

Model on the board or using chalk/tape in the large space.
