As a follow on from their WAU topic on Violent Earth, Miss Beacom helped P6 & 7 children look at some of the different types of rock which make up the earth. They examined various samples of rock type by looking at them, both with a microscope and the naked eye, feeling them for texture etc. The children in their groups then had to sort and identify the rocks following a key. The children really enjoyed the opportunity to handle the rocks and learn about the many different types that there are.
