Christmas in the community

We collected and donated to the local foodbank and the Rev Sue Wise kindly came to pick-up our boxes. We devised our own fayre activity, to name a fairy and dinosaur, which was very popular with our visitors. And we went to the local theatre to see Peter Pan as a pantomime.

Rocky The Findosaur October - November 2022

We investigated the properties of rocks. Testing for: permeability (waterproof), durability (scratch test) and density (floating). We asked- Are all rocks the same? We learned that they are not. We also learned that rocks are formed in different way. Rocks are formed over time by:

igneous - from volcanoes

sedimentary - from layers 

metamorphic - from changes by heat and pressure
