Pegasus Class Rocks!

Pegasus Class has been investigating the properties and features of rocks as part of their science work. One ‘dig deeper’ question we are trying to answer is: Which rock would be suitable to use for an outside sculpture? As part of this we tried shaping and carving chalk. We experienced many challenges! It was too soft and crumbly so broke into bits. Whilst this was disappointing, we have learnt that it would not be a suitable rock for a sculpture.  The soft properties of chalk are best used for drawing if we want to be creative!
