Our Year 3 students enjoyed an exciting excursion to Thunderbird Park at Mount Tamborine this week, where they explored their Science learning about rocks, minerals and Earth’s natural resources.
They discovered how thunder eggs were formed through ancient volcanic activity and learnt about the different minerals and crystals that can be found inside them, including quartz, jasper, amethyst and carnelian. The Year 3s had the opportunity to fossick for their very own thunder eggs, seeing firsthand how every rock is unique.
It was also a wonderful day out in nature, enjoying the beautiful bush scenery and birdlife.
It was a fantastic hands-on experience that brought our classroom learning to life!
