Year 3 Rock Investigators

Date: 12th Nov 2026 @ 3:16pm

This week, Year 3 have been busy becoming geologists as part of our Science topic on rocks.

We explored a variety of different rocks and carefully examined their properties. using our observation skills, we looked at features such as colour, texture, hardness, and whether the rocks were smooth, rough, light or heavy.

The children compared different rocks and used scientific vocabulary to describe what they coud see and feel. Some of the rocks were suprisingly smooth, while others were rough and crumbly.

We also looked at how Sedimentary rocks, Igneous rocks and Metamorphic rocks were formed.

Well done Year3. Keep up the fantastic investigating!
