As part of our Geography lessons, pupils in year 4 engaged in a fun and educational activity to construct their own volcano models. The goal was to help pupils understand the structure and eruption process of volcanoes through a creative, hands-on project. After the activity, pupils shared their observations and discussed the eruption process they’d simulated. They talked about how this simple reaction was a model for real volcanic activity, linking back to what we’d learned about magma pressure, gas build-up, and eruption force.
On Tuesday 22nd, and Thursday 24th October, Year 2 pupils went for a walk around the Hayes Town to learn more about their local area.
