Learning About Rocks

08 Oct

In science this half term, our topic is all about rocks. In today’s lesson, we explored the different types of rocks and learned how to identify their features. We discovered that there are three main types of rocks — igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic and we learnt how each one is formed. We examined a range of rock samples, looking closely at their colours, textures, and patterns. It was fascinating to see how different each rock can be and to learn more about the world beneath our feet!
