Here is how Class 11s fossils turned out. The ’rocks’, after a period of time created their own fossil cast, just as we predicted.
Class 11 fantastic fossils! 🪨

Class 11 fossils 🪨
Today, Class 11 have looked into the process of fossilisation. We learned that happens overtime, after animals decompose, layers of sediment rises over the bones and these eventually turn into rock. We know that they are rare to find, too. We even made our own fossils, which we will come back to tomorrow!
Class 11 Rock Experiment! 🪨
Today, Class 11 have been building even more knowledge about rocks. We tested the different types of rocks and the durability, permeability and many other aspects of them. We loved getting hands on and had a great time using sand paper and pipette’s.
Rock formation research! 🪨
Today, Class 11 researched how rocks are formed. They created anchor charts to then complete an exit ticket, so that they could explain how rocks are formed, such as sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks.
Class 11 crafty waves! 🌊
Class 11 have been working really hard to create some waves for our classroom displays, this morning with Miss O’Neill. I am so pleased with the amount of fun the children had and how immersed our classroom has become now, due to their beautiful work!
Class 11 River Work!
Moving on from our Atlas work, we have been using digital technologies and maps to look within our local area. We found out that the River Don runs through Thorne at the other side of the motorway through a place called Waterside and that we have a Canal which is called the Stainforth and Keadby Canal. We Then used a river map of the UK to be able to locate, place and label some of them onto our own blank maps!
Class 11 Atlas Experts! 🌏🌍🌎🗺
Class 11 loved being able to use the atlases to be able to help their learning. They were able to use the atlas to help locate some of the tallest mountains on the different continents.
Class 11 Geologists!
Class 11 have been working on creating posters to show off their knowledge of the earth and its layers. Moe specifically, they have researched the different types of soils that make up the Earth. We looked into bedrock, parent material, subsoil, topsoil and the final organic layer. The layers were researched through the use of iPads which ensured we could get the really strong knowledge!
Class 11 Earth Hook! 🌎🌍🌏
Today, Class 11 were right back into action and have began their hook week for the new Expedition. The new Expedition is called Earth Shattering Events: What happens when nature strikes?
The children were focusing on the different layers that made up the Earth, so it only felt right that we created a fun, collage that showcased the crust, mantle, outer core and inner core, so that we could see the different layers of work.
Keep an eye on the blog, as we continue to be hooked into our new Expedition this week!
Class 11 Presentation of Learning! 🔋🌱🦷
This afternoon, Class 11 were the teachers for the adults that came to see the Presentation of Learning for the Spring Expedition. The Class took on the duty of sharing their knowledge, teaching the adults and explaining their learning about circuits, plants, digestion and Scratch food chains.
I was really impressed by the level of explanation from our mini-teachers and I’m sure adults will agree that they did a super job. The pressure was really on though for the Kahoot Quiz. The children’s teaching went towards the Quiz and was based on what they taught the adults.
I’m sure that adults will agree that Class 11 did a fantastic job of teaching and helped impart some knowledge. Check out below the teachers in action!
We appreciate you turning up to our Presentation of Learning and hope you had a great time! 😆
