In Year 3 as part of our Rocks and Fossils topic we have been looking at the different types of soil. We discussed what makes a fair test and how to carry out an experiment. The children made a prediction and then tested which soil allows water to pass through the quickest.

The children looked at different fossils using magnifying glasses to get a closer look into how they are made. We then used this knowledge to create our very own ammonite using salt dough.
