Today Paul Le Comte came to talk to Room 1 today. He spent ten years teaching geography in secondary schools. Paul became fascinated by geography and the world we live in when he was a little boy at school.
He talked about how the land changes slowly over time. This can be caused by things like earthquakes, volcanoes, erosion and tsumanis.
We went outside and linked arms. Then we went back to back and pushed against each other until eventually a pair fell. This was like an earthquake because the build up of pressure gets so great that the crust breaks. We also made landforms in the sandpit and Paul used a watering can to show us the effect erosion has on our landforms. Everyone learnt heaps.
