An end-of-lesson exit slip on everyday materials for Year 1. Each slip asks pupils to name an object made of wood and to say what material a window is made from, with two lines for each answer. A row of five faces at the bottom lets pupils circle how they feel about today. Three identical slips fill two pages, two on the first and one on the second. There is no answer key. The slip follows the England National Curriculum unit on everyday materials.
Everyday materials
“Distinguish between an object and the material from which it is made”
The two questions work in opposite directions. Question 1 starts from the material wood, and question 2 starts from the object window.
Everyday materials
“Identify and name a variety of everyday materials, including wood, plastic, glass, metal, water, and rock”
Partly met. Pupils name wood and glass only. Plastic, metal, water and rock are not on the slip.
Pupils name an object made of wood, so they start from the material and find an object.
Pupils say what material a window is made from, so they start from the object and name the material.
Five faces, from cross to grinning, for a quick self-check.
After a materials hunt
Give the slip out after pupils have walked the classroom finding wooden objects. Question 1 then checks who can recall one without looking.
Quick sort
Read through the question 2 answers. Pupils who write see-through have given a property, not a material, so start there next lesson.
Faces row
Pair the faces with the answers. A grinning face beside a wrong answer for the window is worth a quiet chat.
