To conclude our Geography unit on Volcanoes and our Science work on Rocks, Year 3 conducted field work in the school grounds. We hunted for rocks and then marked where we had found them on an aerial map. After photographing them, we used magnifying glasses to look really closely at their properties. Using our knowledge, we then classified the rocks into igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic. When we looked at our results, we discovered that most of our rocks were sedimentary. Perhaps in times gone by there was a water source nearby!
