🏺 A fantastic day of discovery at Wheal Martyn! 🏺 Our Year 2/3 children had a brilliant visit to Wheal Martyn Clay Works, bringing their learning to life! 🌟 🔬 They explored how rocks are formed, sorted and described different rocks, and discovered how china clay is mined and processed. 🏭 They enjoyed a guided tour of the Victorian works, ventured up to a clay pit to see a local clay mine, and even witnessed some live drilling! 😮 🌍 This hands-on experience brought our Science learning about rocks and our local history to life, helping children understand the important role china clay has played in Cornwall. A huge thank you to the team at Wheal Martyn for such an engaging and memorable day! 💛 #CarclazeCP #WhealMartyn #Science #LocalHistory #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #ProudToBeCarclaze

Busy hands in EYFS!
