As a class we have been studying rocks. So far we have done the rock cycle there are three different rocks named  Sedimentary and igneous and metamorphic . So some of us has brought some of these types of rocks to class to have a look at here is a definition of the rocks  sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous and the differences among them have to do with how they are formed. Sedimentary. Sedimentary rocks are formed from particles of sand, shells, pebbles, and other fragments of material.

In class we have been learning

about area.

We have learned how to find the area of rectangles and  right angle triangles.

To find the area of a rectangle or a square you need to times the length   by the width.

For example, if I had a rectangle which length was 6cm  and its width was 3cm I would do the sum.                        6cm                                                                                                                                             x 3cm                                                                                                                                            =18cm2

But when you have got your answer you need to remember a little sign which is a little 2 and that represents squared  which means the number has been timed by its self.

Holes is a great book. If you have not read  holes you should definitely read it.

It is a very popular and powerful book.

There is an animal which after this book was made became a celebrity this is the yellow spotted lizard.

In class we have been learning in science about rocks minerals and crystals we have enjoyed it so far and would like to show what we’ve learned  on our blog.

We have also had a go of making them which has been very fun!

Crystals are a type of mineral!

We have also been studying about the rock cycle were there are three different types of rocks Metamorphic Igneous and Sedimentary.

Metamorphic rocks  

As you  may have noticed this type of rock has different layers the layers have been formed over a large period of years have been pressed down. Some examples of metamorphic rocks are slate and marble.

Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

Sedimentary rock is when lots of layers of rock pile up

We have been able to choose from lots of different tasks for our Holes homework – for example, create posters, quizzes, trailers, book covers, character descriptions inspired by the book.

We have had a busy start to this year! Heres some photos of what the children have been up to!

We have been exploring the theme of “Traditional tales”. We used our talking tub to get the children ideas of which books they liked and ideas of how we could explore them!

We have also been busy at snacktime making apple crumble from apple we have grown/picked out our ELC garden!

Can you explain what the three types of questions are that we have been learning about recently?

Today we held a short memorial service to remember and show our respects to Lieutenant Murray, and all the other fallen soldiers, who died in action 100 years ago today. Second Lieutenant Murray was a Science teacher at Kingsland, when he enrolled into the army to fight for his country.

Here are some of the things that we learnt about WW1 and Lieutenant Murray.
