What’s happening in Year 3 – Week 3

In science this half term, we will be learning all about ‘Rocks’. This week, we had an online workshop with iBus – they gave us some interesting facts about how rocks are formed.  We explored the properties of some different types of rocks, including igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks.  The children were very excited to be able to draw upon their prior knowledge of rocks from previous science units.  We also had the chance to observe rocks up close using a microscope and use our special 3D glasses to sort rocks into the correct categories.  The class had some very interesting and thought provoking questions to ask which will help them grow as young scientists!
