Auckland Museum Visit

By November 2, 2020December 10th, 2020No Comments

Years 3 and 4 have been rocking this week with a visit from the Auckland Museum.

The students have learned where the many different volcanoes in Auckland are located – all 53 of them! We found out we have one dormant volcano, Rangitoto Island and 52 extinct volcanoes.

There are many volcanoes in our area such as Pigeon Mountain and Mt Wellington. They also enjoyed the hands-on activities identifying the different types of rocks.

Everyone had an explosive week finding out about the types of eruptions and volcanoes in our backyard- Auckland.
