With SATs completed, we are getting stuck into our topic ‘It’s Our Time’ in Year 6 – starting by looking at fossils!

We tried our hands at excavation…carefully removing the fossils (chocolate chips) from their rocky surroundings (cookies!). We then learned all about the four different types of fossil – cast, mould, true form and trace – before forming our own from play dough and sorting examples into the four categories.

Next up…making our own fossils from plaster of Paris!
