In Year 3, our latest Geography topic is Extreme Earth. To kick off our new topic, we had a visit from One Day Creative. Through drama, we explored some different myths about how earthquakes are caused, then learnt why they really happen. We also learnt about different volcanoes in the world, whether they were active, dormant or extinct, and acted out what happens when a volcano erupts.

Then, we were lucky to be visited by Prime VR, where we used virtual reality headsets to get up close to volcanoes erupting (from the safety of our classroom!) We looked at the shapes of the volcanoes, and watched lava and ash erupting from them.

We really enjoyed our visits and are looking forward to studying more of this topic!
