Volcanoes!                                           

In Term 2, Room 11 learnt lots of facts about volcanoes and how to use interesting words in our writing to describe an erupting volcano. 

We made little clay volcanoes.

They were all different shapes and sizes, just like real volcanoes!

We left the volcanoes to dry for one week, then we painted the clay.

Finally we put on red paint and glitter for the lava.

 

We painted backgrounds for our volcanoes in little boxes and presented these to Room 12 with our stories.  

 

On the last day of term we even made erupting and bubbling volcanoes in the school sand pit.

First we formed the volcano shape in the sand, then we poured in vinegar, baking soda and food colouring!

 

When the vinegar was poured into the baking soda it looked like a volcanic eruption!
