Writing experience - Volcano

For our writing experience we made an erupting volcano using baking soda, food colouring, dish liquid, warm water and finally vinegar. We made a red flowing river of lava in the sandpit. We used the experience to write about the 'moment in time'  and brainstormed powerful words to use in our writing. 

Here is a slideshow of pictures. 

Look out for our published pieces of writing later in the week.

  1. Hi Class, we at Yaldhurst think your Volcano was amazing. We loved watching the volcano erupting. It was really cool how you made it in the sandpit. Why did you want to make it? Was it a science experiment? Did it stink? What kind of sand did you make it in? It looks different from ours. Great job. From Te Pihinga at Yaldhurst Model School.

    1. Kia ora Te Pihinga. Thanks for you comment on our blog. We made a volcano because our topic is mountains and we needed some writing motivation. It was a science experiment but we wanted to learn about adjectives and powerful verbs with an erupting volcano. no it didn't smell bad, just like vinegar. We made it in our sandpit. Room 2.
