Year 8 Weathering Selfies

Last Exeat Year 8 pupils were set the task of looking around them to find examples of Weathering and take a selfie or a photograph of it with them in it. Here are some of their photos ...

Alex's Biological Weathering in Ashurst Wood

Elizabeth's Biological Weathering on her driveway

Hattie's Chemical Weathering on her steps

Ignacio found Biological Weathering in Hyde Park

Maja found some limestone at home that had been Chemically weathered

Theo found some possible Freeze-Thaw action at home.
