Our science topic this half-term is rocks and soils. The children have learnt the 3 types of rock; sedimentary, igneus and metamorphic. Ask them how each type of rock is formed. This week, they have been investigating the properties of some different types of rocks. In our English lessons, the children have been describing the scene at the Full Moon Festival in our class book; The Firework Maker's Daughter. It is a magical occasion with colourful lanterns hanging from the trees,  the shimmering skirts of dancers swaying in the moonlight  and fragrant candles floating across the emerald lake. There have been some beautiful descriptions.
