This week in science we looked at different rock samples. We found out that rocks are used for different purposes so hard rocks such as marble are used for statues and work surfaces and softer rocks such as sandstone are used for buildings because they can be carved and are easily quarried. Hannah and Jackie enjoyed looking at the marble because it had crystals in it. We also looked at the layers in the slate which reminds us a bit of the twirl we examined in our chocolate geology last week!

In language with Mrs Mackenzie, we looked at comic strips and how they can be used to tell a story. We found that they often have a lead-in sentence, speech bubbles to show us what is being said, thought bubbles so we know what characters are thinking, kapow stars to show sound effects and pictures showing the action! We enjoyed telling our story through comic strips.

This week we had our first BBB of the year on feeling safe. It was really interesting to see what children from across the school thought about where they feel safe and who helps them to feel safe.
