Lovely Local Area

On Monday 1^st December year 5 went around the local area with Emily to look at the different types of rocks. Emily works with different schools and goes to different places like the market or the park. We went through the local area to find buildings that have been built with different types of rocks like granite, slate, marble or chalk. We went to see Pizza Hut and Kensington High Street to observe what rock they used, what kind of texture it was and what rock was it. Pizza Hut was limestone and it was very mouldy and rough and Kensington High Street was granite: it was very polished. Now, whenever I look at buildings I will always know what type of rock it’s made from!
