Wednesday 25th of July 2018 we went to Shantytown to learn about fossils
and rocks.
We really enjoyed the experience because it was a good opportunity to
learn about something that we had never really studied before.
Our favorite activities were when we got to look at a fossil and draw it.
Another of our favorite activities were when we got to
look through a microscope at some really cool fossils.

We really enjoyed listening to Mary and Ian speak about fossils because,
it was really interesting to hear. One of the activities we did in a group was
learning about the different types of
coal, some of the names were lignite, bituminous, and anthracite.
We then had to go to a fire and put it on the flames and estimate
how long it would take for the coal to catch on fire.

Another activity we did was we got to go for a walk with Mary,
we looked at the mud-stone, limestone and other things that were in
Shantytown. It was really interesting learning about it and were it is in
Shantytown.

We learnt that coal can take a very long time to catch on fire.
Part of this activity was when we got given a piece of coal and a picture of
all the coals a description and we had to try and guess what our piece of coal
was.

We also got given a rock at the end of the session, we also got to use a
hammer and and chisel to try and break open a rock and here is a picture of it:

Over all we thought the experience was good and it was really interesting to
learn about. We would like to thank Shantytown for hosting it and we would
also like to thank Mary and Ian for teaching us about it all.

Hi Hannah,
ReplyDeleteMy is Joseph and i am a year 7 student from panmure bridge school.
I really like how you described what it felt like throughout your blurb. I also really like how you showed off different parts of fossils and rocks. Your work was really interesting and great. As i read your blurb and viewed your pictures, they got me wanting learn about rocks and fossils because I was so amazed, but keep up the awesome work.
