As part of our brilliant topic – Natural Disasters – we have been learning all about volcanoes. After finding out how they form and where most volcanoes are located, Year 3 worked in groups to create their own model volcano based on Mount Fuji, Vesuvius, Mount Mayon, Krakatoa and Eyjafjallajökull! Can you work out which one is which, based on their geographical features?

As we can’t use real magma, we have been thinking about which chemical reactions could create the most realistic ‘eruption’. Tune in next week to see the results!
