The grade 3 students

got to attend the

Rocks and Mineral

Show in Red Deer on

October 2nd. Here

the students got to

apply their

knowledge and learn

even more about the

3 types of rocks that

they have been study-

ing in science. They

were also exposed to

numerous different

minerals that our

Earth produces. The

students got to see

and even purchase

some really cool

rocks and minerals! It

was so much fun!
