Dirt Pudding

In our science lessons, we have been learning about rocks and soils. For today's lesson, we looked at the different levels of soil that are under our feet. We were introduced to the layers bed rock, rocky soil, sub soil and topsoil and then the children used a range of foods to replicate the layers of soil such as using chocolate chips for the rocks within the bed rock and gummy worms to represent the animals that would live within the topsoil. The children really enjoyed this activity, especially when they were able to eat it afterwards. Have a look below at our dirt puddings.
