What a week!

This week we have connected our enquiry learning with our writing. We have been learning about Christopher Columbus for our enquiry question ‘Why did Europeans go exploring?’ and are working towards writing a biography all about him. First of all, we made a poster about Christopher Columbus and researched some information.

As scientists, we learnt about soil so we could recognise that soil is made from rocks and organic matter. We took part in an experiment where we collected soil and mixed it with water so we could see the different parts.
