Volcanoes and Trees!




This week in 2BP we made a volcano that erupted lava. First of all we worked in pairs to build a volcano in the sandpit. We then put a plastic cup of bicarb soda on the top of the volcano and added some red coloured vinegar. The volcano ERUPTED red lava!!! In nature this lava would harden and become igneous rock.
Today we celebrated National Tree Planting Day. We worked in small groups to dig a small hole, plant the tree and water it well. Our class trees were planted outside of the Principal's Office at our school and we will continue to care for them so they grow big and strong.
