Rocks, Rocks, Rocks
This week a real, live geologist, Dr. Trish Gregg, called us on Skype from Oregon to answer our questions about rocks. She was very patient and told us that we asked good questions. We know a LOT more about rocks now. She inspired us to look more closely at rocks. In fact, we each also started our own rock collection!
We recorded our conversation on Skype. It is in three parts below because the video feed froze part of the way through our conversation, and Youtube does not allow videos longer than ten minutes.

Mrs Cassidy... send Ms Hayes an email if it would be of use for some rock samples to arrive from New Zealand. Are you looking at particular rock types?

We have been learning about rocks too. Just like you. Rocks are good to learn about. I like the different colours and different shapes.

We really liked your skype video clip. We thought that your class was very lucky to be able to talk with such an expert. We learnt a lot. We think you are all very good workers. Thank you for making the video and sharing it with us all.
Some of our students would like to be a Geologist after watching your video.
What rocks have your class collected?
Perhaps you could take a picture of them for us.
Bye for now.
Ms Casey
