Last week we took part in a volcano workshop as we have been learning about volcanoes in geography lessons. At the workshop we learnt about the structure of a volcano including: outer core, mantle, tectonic plates and magma chamber. If we won our game, we were allowed to show our volcano erupting. The eruption could only last 3 seconds and then we would explode onto the floor!

We enjoyed the drama of creating the earth with tectonic plates and a volcano for the magma to escape from. The magma had little flames to carry from the Earth's core, through the volcano and out to the surface.

We played a game to help us to remember magma reserve, conduit, throat, crater, vent and ash cloud. We had to create the actions and then try to catch people out.
