This week’s blogging assignment is to find out about a kind of rock and, in your own words, write a description. Be careful of your spelling and punctuation, i.e. capitals and full stops.
This is a famous rock! Can anyone tell what it is called and what kind of rock it is?
An amethyst is a purple crystal often used in jewellery. It’s found in South America, Russia and the U.S.A in volcanic rocks!
Great work SU!
That rock is Uluru – sandstone.
My Daddy took a rock out of the shower and said “Look up this rock, it’s called pumice.” This rock is volcanic and some of them may contain crystals.They are quite a light colour for a volcanic rock and are light and smooth. Pumice is used for smoothing hands and feet and stone-washing jeans. They are found were volcanos are.
Excellent explanation HL,
Pumice is a very interesting and useful rock. Well done,
Mr. Maller
A Diamond is a rock made out of a material called carbon.
Diamonds are also the hardest stone substance and are usually used for jewellery.
They are usually found in Southern Africa and places near there.
Well researched comment on diamonds, JM.
Limestone
Limestone is a rock that is mostly made up of the minerals called calcite and aragonite. Most limestone is made under or near the sea and is made out of sea plants and animal’s skeletons, leaves, sand, rock particles and clay.
That is a really big rock called Uluru.
