Earth Layers

Today we learnt the earth has lots of layers like a sandwich.   On the surface is grass, then there is dirt.  Over time the dirt turns into rock.  The middle of the Earth is made from magma.  Magma is melted rock.

  1. I hope you are enjoying your learning about volcanoes Room 1. We're learning about the same thing in Room 6. So far we have learnt a lot of really interesting information. Did you know that Lake Taupo is a volcano?

    1. There were 5 people in Room 1 who knew that. The rest of us were very surprised. Now we know that a long time ago, when the volcano erupted, it blew into lots of pieces.

  2. Makes you think twice about swimming in the lake doesn't it?
