VOLCANOES........






This week in PPR we learnt all about volcanoes - how they are formed, how they work, where they are located, and how volcanologists can predict eruptions.

In maths we made volcanoes out of play-doh and then calculated and compare the area of all our volcanoes:






We wrote labels for the parts of a volcano including: crater, vent, lava, magma, rocks and ash. Then we used these labels for our painted diagrams of volcanoes.

Finally, we designed and built our own volcano models and experimented with how to make them erupt!!!
