This term the children in P5\/6\/7\u00a0 along with G4-7 have been learning about ‘Islay’s Coast’ and the various types of rocks that surround the coastline.\u00a0 The children were able to identify sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks as well as describe their characteristics and uses.<\/p>\n

Mr David Webster, a geologist, attended a trip to Bowmore Battery with the children where the children took part in different activities to deepen their knowledge and understanding.<\/p>\n

They were able to make volcanic eruptions as well as create a timeline showing the age of different rocks.\u00a0 The children were then set a challenge to<\/p>\n

create the map of Islay using natural resources.\u00a0 They were then asked to place the various rocks in the places they can be found on Islay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A great day was had by all!<\/p>\n
