We will check again next week to see if it has changed. ### Soil composition [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/soil-composition/5412894B-ABB6-433A-9B49-8A1F589241CB.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/gallery/soil-composition/5412894B-ABB6-433A-9B49-8A1F589241CB.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/soil-composition/95D3ABF1-11BD-45BB-AB96-D0C71530D013.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/gallery/soil-composition/95D3ABF1-11BD-45BB-AB96-D0C71530D013.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/soil-composition/C30728F7-676C-4320-B192-1D7BB56BC7E0.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/gallery/soil-composition/C30728F7-676C-4320-B192-1D7BB56BC7E0.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/soil-composition/EC991320-4782-42BB-BF3D-22BD917E8161.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/gallery/soil-composition/EC991320-4782-42BB-BF3D-22BD917E8161.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/soil-composition/B961438F-5478-434B-AD5B-D9E72CFF40AF.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/gallery/soil-composition/B961438F-5478-434B-AD5B-D9E72CFF40AF.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/soil-composition/22B487C9-2304-4178-9D8D-7C0115FAB2C0.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/gallery/soil-composition/22B487C9-2304-4178-9D8D-7C0115FAB2C0.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/soil-composition/D76E8AFC-FE51-4F4B-98EA-4F0851CD27E2.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/gallery/soil-composition/D76E8AFC-FE51-4F4B-98EA-4F0851CD27E2.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/soil-composition/CC903BC6-C746-496A-A7A7-52E5E0FCDE86.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/gallery/soil-composition/CC903BC6-C746-496A-A7A7-52E5E0FCDE86.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/soil-composition/515D8B20-7228-4A13-8C8A-189256DDE137.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/gallery/soil-composition/515D8B20-7228-4A13-8C8A-189256DDE137.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/soil-composition/AEFFA1A3-23D0-4212-BECC-299784A6CE36.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/gallery/soil-composition/AEFFA1A3-23D0-4212-BECC-299784A6CE36.jpeg) [Year 3](https://scotforth-st-pauls.lancs.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-3) [Science](https://scotforth-st-pauls.lancs.sch.uk/blog/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/100x100c/blog/2F6DA17D-E8BB-4FC0-9512-9FF694B95E20.jpeg)](https://scotforth-st-pauls.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2021-11-04-19-24-40-filtering-experiment) Previous ### [Filtering experiment](https://scotforth-st-pauls.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2021-11-04-19-24-40-filtering-experiment) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_0133(1).JPG)](https://scotforth-st-pauls.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2021-11-06-14-16-36-year-5-musical-instrument-making) Next ### [Year 5 Musical Instrument Making](https://scotforth-st-pauls.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2021-11-06-14-16-36-year-5-musical-instrument-making) -
