In our Unit of Inquiry, Sharing the Planet, Year 4 has been exploring how Earth’s surface changes over time, the limited nature of Earth’s resources and our obligations to care for our Earth. Recently we have been exploring erosion and weathering. To deepen our understanding of this topic, we will be heading off to Geoscience Australia on Monday, 9 May.

Geoscience Programme: Weathering and ErosionThe Weathering and Erosion programme focuses on changes that occur in rocks and the landscape as a result of geological processes, and how fossils can give us clues to the past.

IMPORTANT DETAILS

LUNCH: No lunch orders will be available. Packed lunch and morning tea is to be brought to school. This will be eaten at school on return or before the excursion.
