A Wordle from our Museum Trip


We wrote about our trip to the museum and then made a wordle. A wordle is a visual representation of the things that stood out for us on the trip. The bigger the word the more times that word was written in our stories. You can visit wordle.net and make your own wordles.

What lies beneath? - Kayleigh



My Dad has these old fossils which are very precious. They are fossils of ammonites and old snails. The class was very interested in seeing them. We saw some on the museum trip too. I also made a volcano at home. Can you see the lava running down the mountain? By Kayleigh

What lies beneath? - Zachary


Grandad found this huge nail. It went through his tractor tyre. He was not happy. I wonder where it came from? We also found this big horseshoe. They must have used big horses in the old days to pull the plough. By Zachary

I found an old rusty knife under the ground and a funny looking rock. By Angel

What lies beneath? - Madi


I found a strange rock under the ground. I wonder what kind of rock it might be? I will have to ask an expert like Mr Beaton or Mrs Stedman in the library.
