We learnt about the rock cycle using starburst as pretend sediments. We made our own lava! Then we identified different rocks using a key and tested their properties. We used magnifying glasses to look closely and a scratch test to test durability. … [Continue reading](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/blog/2026-10-22-12-52-year-3-class-8-science-the-rock-cycle) [![Image of Year 1 (Class 4) - Science - Exploring our Senses](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x440c/gallery/year-1-class-4-science-exploring-our-senses/IMG_0144_20261019150559610.jpg)](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/blog/2026-10-19-15-07-year-1-class-4-science-exploring-our-senses) 19 October 2026 #### [Year 1 (Class 4) - Science - Exploring our Senses](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/blog/2026-10-19-15-07-year-1-class-4-science-exploring-our-senses) In Science over the past few weeks, we have been exploring our senses. We explored our sense of smell by closing our eyes and smelling different things to try and identify what it was and if they liked or disliked the smell.
