It has certainly been a change the last few weeks and first up we want to say how much we are missing our students and being at school with them! It has been a super steep learning curve for us all and we are really proud of how our classes have stepped up to online learning.

As well as some of the fantastic work we want to show you, we have added below some websites that you might like to look at if you are looking to do some Science enrichment. We love hearing what people have been up to so please share your activities and reviews with us, as well as any you find that you think we might enjoy too!

How are rocks transported by wind, water and ice?
How are rocks transported by wind, water and ice?
Rocks are transported by water, when they fall into a river and the water pulls them along. They can be transported by wind, by how hard the wind blows, and for ice, the moisture inside the rock freezes and as ice floats it would float on water.
Which method of transport do you think will move the largest rock pieces?
Which method of transport do you think will move the largest rock pieces?
I think the ice will transport the largest rock because it will freeze all the moisture inside it and that will make it far easier to transport.

Why are fossils often found in sedimentary rock?
Why are fossils often found in sedimentary rock?
Because they contain temperatures that other rocks do not have and because of this they do not destroy fossil remains.
