In school we have been doing natural disasters as a topic. We have been learning about volcanoes, earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis and hurricanes. Mrs Lobodowska and Mr Kettlewell have made it a really fun topic, they took us to Dynamic Earth. It was amazing! We went back in time and we made tornadoes and earthquakes. We also did some drama on it. We made a volcano coming out of the wall and the full class helped.
I really enjoyed doing this topic!

Next week we are going to go to Dynamic Earth. We are learning a lot of things about Natural Disasters. Like about the earths structure. The earth has the inner core, the outer core, the mantle and the crust. Hopefully we will be able to make it to Dynamic Earth. We hope that we will learn a lot of things and that all our class will enjoy it. I hope that there will be more exciting things there and we have just been recently learning about volcanoes. A volcano can explode by the pressure of molten rock gets to high and causes a volcanic eruption. The volcano can’t hold the magma any more, so the magma chamber explodes and lava shoots out on the ground above it.

Volcanoes are openings in the earth’s ground. Volcanoes shoot out lava which is magma but above the ground.
Volcanoes explode because of magma that can not escape out of the ground when the tectonic plates are moving. The magma builds up and makes a magma chamber. It can get to a point where too much magma gathers in the chamber and it can’t hold any more. It causes the explosion.

Volcanoes
Hello everyone, we have been learning about volcanoes and their substances, which is magma and lava.
MAGMA – the lava before it explodes out of the volcano.
LAVA – the hot and deadly molten rock with a fiery red colour which can kill and destroy anything in it’s paths.
We are very excited to be learning more about volcanoes and all of the other Natural Disasters.

Hello,
Primary 6 have been learning all about Natural Disasters in class. We have been looking into earthquakes, volcanos, floods and droughts. We paid particular attention to flooding and were researching Venice also know as The Drowning City. I am still learning about Natural Disasters and I am thoroughly enjoying it as I get to learn about how the world works.
