Exploring the Wonders of Volcanoes 🌋

Date: 10th Jan 2025 @ 8:07pm

Welcome to 2025! This half term, our class has been diving into the fascinating world of volcanoes. We’ve been learning all about how volcanoes erupt, from the build-up of pressure deep inside the Earth to the dramatic release of lava, ash, and gases.

To bring our learning to life, we had so much fun creating our own model volcanoes. While we haven’t erupted them yet, we’re excited to bring them to life later this term as we deepen our understanding of how eruptions work.

We’ve also been exploring the layers of the Earth—the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. Understanding how these layers work together has helped us see why volcanoes exist and how they are formed.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue our volcanic adventures! 🌋
