Science soil investigations

Following on from our introduction to life in soil with Sophie Wheeler's mummy, the children in Blossom Bats began investigating different soil types looking at the different textures, colour and appearance. The children used some great scientific vocabulary when  writing their observations. They also used their own ideas to solve the tricky problem of separating a mixture of sand, gravel and pebbles. Thanks to Foundation for lending us their sieves and colanders. Have a look, you can see lots of concentration!
