Year 6 have got the whole world in their hands

Thursday 28 February 2019

To introduce our new topic on Earthquakes and Volcanoes we have been learning about the structure of the Earth. Using different colours of play dough we were able to create 3D models. We sliced our 'Earths' in half and identified the layers: the core, the outer core, the mantle and the crust. The crust is the part that we live on and is split into plates. These plates are known as 'tectonic plates'. We used cocktail sticks to label the different layers to help us remember the new vocabulary.
