We have had a lot of interest in volcanoes this week with the ash clouds from the Chilean volcano grounding planes in New Zealand being a current topical event in the news.
We have looked at eruptions on You Tube, discussed how we have had many volcanoes erupt in New Zealand, with many of us having climbed to the top of our most recent volcanic creation in Auckland, Rangitoto Island. And we have made volcanoes in the sand pit, complete with vinegar and baking soda lava.
The children spent a long time creating their volcano, watched the lava flow and then reduced the mountain to level ground again within seconds.
