Year 3 - Excursion to UTAS and Long Beach
Wednesday 30 July
On Wednesday 30 July, Year 3 will visit the Geology Department at the University of Tasmania and also Long Beach, Sandy Bay as part of their inquiry into Sharing the planet. Students will visit the Geology Department to gain an understanding of the geology of Tasmania and why the makeup of our island home is so special and worth preserving and protecting. We will learn how to identify rocks during an interactive gemstone hunt and explore the university's collection of rocks. We will then travel to Long Beach, Sandy Bay where we will have lunch and play in the park before a lecturer from the university takes us to a volcanic site.
We will be departing school at 9.00am and returning from Long Beach at 2.00pm. Students will need to bring a packed lunch and drink bottle. Students will be in uniform and will need to bring a coat/rain jacket. Parents are welcome to meet us at Long Beach Sandy Bay during the lunch break and walk to the volcanic site and return. We will also need four volunteers for the University activities. Please contact your child’s classroom teacher if you’re able to assist on this day. Anyone interested in joining us will need to complete a Volunteer Registration Form.
