In half term 2, we are learning about rocks, soils and fossils. Here we are matching the rocks to their pictures to identify different types of rocks.
We also grouped rocks according to their properties.
We learnt about fossils and what a palaeontologist is. We learnt how careful they had to be when digging up fossils by replicating their job. We used cocktail sticks to try and get the chocolate chips out.
In half term 1, We learnt about different forces and did an experiment to see how different surfaces affected friction.
We also looked at magnetic forces and what happened when you put two magnets together.
We investigated which metals were megnetic and which were not.
In half term 5 we learnt about our skeleton and bones in our body. We investigated if our height affected the length our our forearms.
In half term 3 and 4, we studied plants and we investigated the different parts of a flower.
Our half term 2 topic we learnt about rocks, fossils and soils. Here we are learning more about different types of rocks.
We grouped rocks according to different characteristics.
We investigated the permeability of different rocks.
We looked at how fossils are made and Oscar brought in some of his fossils.
in half term 1 we learnt more about forces and magnetism. We did an investigation to see which surface had the most friction.
We did lots of different investigations with magnets.
