Today, our class had an exciting Rocks and Fossils Workshop! We had a great time learning about different types of rocks and how to classify them.

English - Proofreading
Today in English, we took part in a fun and tricky proofreading activity. We were given an information text all about penguins, but it had lots of spelling, punctuation, and grammar mistakes! Our job was to read it carefully, find the errors, and correct them. Some of the subheadings didn’t match, so we had to spot those too. It really made us think about how information texts should be written and organised. We worked hard, helped each other, and enjoyed being mini-editors for the day!

LO: To create a textured background
In Art today, we learned about how prehistoric artists created their paintings on the rough walls of caves, unlike the smooth paper we usually use. To prepare for our own cave-style paintings, we began making their own ‘cave walls’ using a variety of materials to recreate the rough texture. We looked at different techniques, such as gluing down textured items like couscous, bulgur wheat, lentils, coarse flour, seeds, or sand onto strong card. We experimented with these materials, learning how to stick them securely.

Science - Fossilisation
