For others I’m slow.

To most people, I’m an obsession

On monday the 21st of march whilst some people were in France, the rest of the class joined with year 5 and we did some work about volcanoes.

First,we had to do alot of research and we found out that there are 3 different volcanoes in the world: shield, cone and strato.

Then we got to make our own volcanoes out of paper balls.

Finally, in the afternoon we got to take our volcanoes outside and we let them erupt using red food colouring,vinegar and bicarbornate of soda.

Overall, we had a exciting day and we learnt a lot about volcanoes!

HOW YOU MAKE VOLCANOES ERUPT!

The people who didn’t go France made eruptive volcanoes which was fantastic. The way the volcanoes erupted was amazing, you put bicarbonate soda. Then pour a drop of red food colouring for the lava colour, when you done that, put a small cup of vinegar to make the volcanoes erupt!
