Year 3 rocks!

-

This term we are investigating rocks, from rocks formed deep below the earth from magma to rocks formed deep below the sea, with fossils contained within them.  The children have had a great time identifying types of rocks and looking at their properties.  The children learnt a lot of new scientific vocabulary including density, permeability and durability.  They also completed an investigation to improve their comparison skills.

 It has been a great start to our adventures at Stubbers!  We went on a nature trail around a large lake, that we will be using later on today for water sports activities. We even managed to find some exciting equipment to play on along the way.  We are now eating our lunch, and getting ready for the fun this afternoon.  Keep checking for exciting updates!

What a great first day at Stubbers

After lunch, we all started our first activities. We all got to go on a climbing wall, with many of us reaching the top. We also got to try open canoeing or double kayaking, even though it was meant to be fairly dry activity many of us managed to get nice and wet. After our activities we found our tents for the next couple of days and then had our dinner, it was a very tasty bolognaise with fruit for pudding.  We are now waiting for our evening activity, the mini Olympics, then time for some well earned rest.  We will keep you updated in the morning. Keep an eye out.
