Science - Is minecraft right?
Today we had great fun figuring out if there is any science in Minecraft!? We explored all of the different rock/brick types, and using our research skills, decided if they were real world materials, or completely made up.
Once we had separated the real from the fictional, we began to learn about each type of rocks properties, and classified them as: Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic, Soil, or sediment - or in the case of Terracotta - other!
The children were fab, and we look forward to using this new found knowledge next week, when we look at the rocks in real life!
Many children also bought in fossil collections, crystals they had made and books they have - to share with the class. It is not too late if your child would like to bring in any rocks, crystals or gem stones to share, they can bring them in any Thursday and share them with their class.
