Perfect for Year 3&4, How Is Soil Made? helps students explore how soil forms and why it is essential for life through an engaging nonfiction activity.

This resource explains how rocks break down through weathering, how organic matter creates nutrient-rich humus, and why water, air, and living organisms are vital for healthy soil. Students also learn about different soil types, including sandy, clay, and loamy soil, and discover why soil is one of Earth’s most important natural resources.

Help your pupils create a record of thinking, not just complete another worksheet.

This Learning Journal shows pupils how to capture ideas, vocabulary, questions and reflections across reading, listening and discussion — built over time and owned by pupils.

This Learning Journal resource is designed to help pupils build a visible record of thinking across lessons, rather than completing one-off tasks.

Pupils create a two-page spread in their books that is added to gradually after different learning inputs, such as:

  • assemblies
  • reading texts
  • listening comprehension
  • short videos
  • reflection or discussion tasks
