About this worksheet

A one-page labelling task for Year 1 science, with the answers on a second page. Pupils look at a brick house with six label lines, A to F, and write a material on each line. The parts are a window, the wall, the railings, a curtain, the door and the path. The word bank holds wood, rock, fabric, brick, glass and metal, one for each label. A final question asks why glass is a good material for windows. It covers England National Curriculum work on objects and the materials they are made from.

How teachers use it

Then walk the school

After the sheet, take the class outside to find the same six parts on the school building. A metal door or plastic window frame gives you something to talk about.

Fold the word bank

For confident pupils, fold the word bank under before you copy. They recall the six materials on their own.

Two reasons for glass

The key gives two reasons, seeing outside and letting light in. Accept one in writing and ask for the second out loud.
