We used adjectives to write some acrostic poems about volcanoes. We had great fun thinking of different words to describe sights, sounds and feelings associated with volcanoes. Have a look at some of our poems below. We hope you enjoy reading them 😀
Volcanoes Day 3
Explosive Volcanoes
Today we mixed vinegar, washing up liquid, water and red food colouring. We then added this to some bicarbonate of soda inside our volcanoes and there was a big eruption when all the chemicals mixed.
“The eruption was the best and coolest thing in the world!” – Iona
“I thought it was very cool!” – Kayleigh
“I mixed the bicarbonate of soda into the mix and it made the volcano overload with foam.” – Kieran
Have a look at our erupting volcano videos! 😀 (Videos will only play on a computer)
Volcanoes Day 2
Painting Our Volcanoes
On Thursday we mixed different paints to paint our volcanoes. We used brown, black and green for the base then we used red, orange and yellow for the lava.
“Our volcano looked really cool when it had dried.” – Nicole
“After the volcanoes dried they all looked very realistic!” – Ryan
“We had an excellent time making our volcano models, it was fun!” – Caiden
2D Shape
2D Shape Robots
Today we had fun creating robots using 2D shapes. We experimented using different shapes for different body parts.
“I had fun making my robot. I used a square for the head and rectangles for the arms and legs.” – Eva S
“Today I made a robot. I used a circle for the head and a rectangle for the body.” – Kai
“I used a square for the head and a rectangle for the body. I used more rectangles for the arms and legs then gave my robots wheels for his feet.” – Xander
“We made robots today. I made a bunny robot. I used a rectangle for the body and a square for the head. I used rectangles for the feet, legs and arms.” – Nicole
Technology Volcanoes Day 1
Today we created 3D volcanoes using paper mache. First of all we dipped the paper into the glue and then stuck it onto the wire of our volcano.
We continued doing this until we had 2-3 layers. Then we gave a final coating using PVA glue. We need to leave them now for 24 hours to let them harden.
“I enjoyed getting messy with the PVA glue-it was all sticky and felt weird!” – Anthony
“I liked sticking on the paper mache.”- Aidan
“I liked getting messy and applying the paper mache.” – Aimee
“I had great fun creating my volcano and it was very messy!” – Taylor
“I enjoyed shaping the wire to make it look like a volcano.” – Darby
“The work today was awesome, I loved making the volcano models!” – Megan
Check back tomorrow to see our volcanoes…we can’t wait to paint them!!
Volcanoes
We have had lots of fun researching information about volcanoes. We mixed different colours to paint volcanic eruption pictures.
This week we will begin our Technology project, where we are designing and creating our own volcanoes. We can’t wait to get started! Check back soon to see how we are getting on.

Sports Day
On Friday, we had a fantastic day taking part in lots of different activities. To begin with we started off at the Micro Fitness, where we got to try lots of new equipment like spin bikes, treadmills, cross trainers and rowing machines. It was great fun but hard work too!
After the Micro Fitness we went to the disco. The music was great and we had a fabulous time dancing with everyone!
Our next activity was the bouncy castle. We all had a fantastic time jumping about!
After break, we visited the potted sports area where we took part in football shootout, hockey dribble, basketball shootout and beanbag throw. We all tried really hard to earn some points for our house!
After the potted sports, we took part in some football training activities led by a coach from Colts F.C. We all enjoyed learning some new skills!
In the afternoon we took part in orienteering. We worked in a group to find clues and come up with a secret message. We all had great fun trying to find the clues and solve the code!
Finally, we took part in a scavenger hunt to find a variety of things in the Nature Garden. We enjoyed exploring outside and had fun trying to find a four leaf clover!!
