What does 'durable' mean?

This term Room 12 will be creating some artwork for display around the school...outside!  So it needs to be durable.  We are learning about what durable means.  We already know that it means 'to last a long time'.  We also know that our artwork will need to last on sunny days, rainy days and windy days.



We have found 8 things we might use to make our artwork and we are testing them to see how 'durable' they are.  We've chosen: a toilet roll, plastic, tin can, paper, tissue, a leaf, fabric and some wood.  We've placed these outside for a few days to watch what happens to them over time.

Today we guessed which item would be the best to use.  Have a look at Room 12's predictions.

If you click on this image it will be clearer to see everybody's name.

At the end of the week we will have some 'limericks' to share!  

Oliver, Kaci and Joel have been learning all about limericks.
