Rock Topic


Last term our topic was Stone Age to Iron Age and this term we are studying Rocks.  One of our parapetic music teachers Mrs Atkinson is a geologist and has offered to come into to teach us about rocks - brilliant as she has so many resources that we don't have.

Demonstrating rock porosity


Everyone interested


Beginning to lock at different types of rocks - igneous, metamorphic or sedentary?
