We have just completed our two week Rocks and Fossils topic in Year 3.
We have looked at all three major rock types, fossils and soil. After our lesson, the children went outside to do some digging. The children are also watching and listening to the reaction between limestone and lemon juice.
Our work linked very nicely to our work on Volcanoes and Mountains.
The Romans are up next (another nice link to volcanoes). We hope the children love the topic. Since Mr Maher’s favourite film is Gladiator, he may like it too.
