Year 3 visited the Great North Museum in Newcastle. We got to explore our ‘Rocks’ topic through their fantastic exhibits.

People often think rocks are boring but they don’t realise how amazing they are! Most rocks have been around for millions of years and seen so many things. Some rocks may have even once been a piece of mud on a dinosaurs foot! Isn’t that fascinating?

We investigated lots of different rocks and had to decide if they were metamorphic, sedimentary or igneous. Then we explored the museum looking at the amazing fossils and minerals they have there!
