On Thursday the 27th P7 went to Harlaw Academy for a Social Subjects trip. We all got in groups and went to different workshops to learn about volcanos.

1st workshop:We used brushes to brush the sand away to try and find items and then we learned about how the Romans lived and how Pompeii got covered in ashes from the volcano.

2nd workshop:We used bolts and party poppers to see how long it would take for a volcano to erupt we also learned that if  you leave 1 to 3 days before the volcano erupts no one will die.

3rd workshop:We got character cards describing our personality then there is 2 people who are told the personalities then they have to decide if the people get in the boat or not then there is one big boat and everyone has to decide who stays and who goes.

4th workshop:We had 2 different groups, one had an envelope with a piece of paper with a family’s  description. We had a selection of pictures and we had to choose 5 things the family need to survive an attempt of escaping a volcano eruption but the second group had to pick 5 items for the whole city.
