This week in Badgers, we have been using what we have learnt in multiplication, to solve problems. We have used the RUCSAC method to ensure we Read, Underline, Choose, Solve, Answer and Check. We find this helpful and tick off each stage on our RUCSAC book mark.

As part of our topic of Rocks and Soils, we have been learning about how fossils are formed. To help us to understand this process a little better and to help us remember it, we created our own fossils. Once we had created the fossil in our clay rock and left it for millions of years (or maybe…
