This week in Year 3 and 4 we have learning all about…….rocks!
You wouldn’t think there was a lot to say about a rock, but ask any of our LKS2 children and they will tell you that rocks have hidden depths!
We have learnt that they can be Igneous, Metamorphic or Sedimentary and what the difference is between them.
We have put our learning into practice today, using chocolate! It was a bit messy and some of us found it very difficult to fight the temptation of eating the chocolate, but we were able to show how sedimentary and metamorphic rocks are formed.
Check out the website to try the activity at home – but don’t forget to send in the photos!
