Science and our environment
This week, the children in Year 3 and 4 have been continuing their learning about rocks and soils. Building on their knowledge from previous learning, they re-created the formation of three types of rock using chocolate. They used melted chocolate to represent the molten rock, grated chocolate to represent the sediment that forms sedimentary rock, and applied pressure to the igneous and sedimentary rocks that they had created to produce metamorphic rock. The children loved this activity - with the added bonus of eating the rocks afterwards!
The children in EYFS have been exploring their environment.
