Year 3 have been exploring the exciting world of earthquakes and volcanoes! Our young geologists have been discovering how volcanoes erupt and what causes earthquakes. They loved taking part in a spectacular volcanic eruption experiment, watching their "volcanoes" come to life! The learning didn't stop therethey also put their engineering skills to the test by designing and building towers that could withstand an "earthquake." It was fantastic to see their creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills in action. What an exciting way to bring geography and science to life! Well done, Year 3!
