This afternoon in Mrs Yates class year 3/4, we took our science learning outdoors and explored The Hazels to investigate soil and discover what it is made of.
The children carefully observed different samples of soil, looking closely at the materials they could find and discussed how soil is formed over time. They were excited to uncover a variety of natural materials, including small stones, plant matter, roots and other organic materials hidden beneath the surface.
Back in the classroom, we continued our investigation by examining our soil samples in greater detail. This hands-on experience helped develop their scientific enquiry skills as they asked questions, made observations and drew conclusions based on the evidence they found.
It was wonderful to see such enthusiasm and curiosity throughout the afternoon, with the children demonstrating excellent teamwork and a real passion for learning about the natural world around them. We look forward to continuing our investigations and discovering even more about the fascinating world around us! 🌱🔍🪱
