A fantastic week in year three... on Monday we received a very important letter from the leading petrologist at BRS tasking us to collect evidence about the different rocks in our area. In history we have been exploring diet this week, first analysing our own before looking at the diet of an ancient Egyptian. We have compared different bread recipes and chosen our favourite to base our planning on next week.
