Y3/4 Stump Cross Tavern Trip

Year 3 and 4 have had an exciting half term delving deep into their Geography topic on volcanoes and the Earth’s structure. To bring their learning to life, the pupils worked hard to design and create their own volcano models, using a mix of creative materials and scientific knowledge. They particularly enjoyed watching their volcanoes “erupt” during a fun and messy experiment that showed how pressure builds up beneath the Earth’s surface!

As part of their topic, the classes also visited Stump Cross Caverns, where they were able to explore underground caves and see stunning rock formations up close. The children were fascinated to learn about how stalactites and stalagmites form over thousands of years and how the caverns link to the wider story of our planet’s geology.
