Sing a Song about Volcanoes
We are so amazingly awesome that instead of writing stories about our learning we write songs and make movies. It's so much more fun and you know what? We remember more of it too!
Singalong Volcano Songs
We wrote our song during our immersion week of Active Earth. We learnt so much in just 2 days and we wanted a fun way to share our learning.

MTV Volcano
We wrote songs about what we had learnt about volcanoes.
We reckon this is a choice way to help you remember facts and to show off all the great stuff that we learnt.
How do you say that again?
So the whole world has been wondering, how on earth do we actually say - Ejyafjallajokull?
Luckily our teacher knows some lovely Icelandic people and they have helped us out to try and learn.
We can only say that we tried our best - fingers crossed it's nearly good enough!

Sesalina's Story About Pressure
On Monday afternoon Miss King gave us one balloon each to show how a volcano erupts. As we were starting blowing our balloons, I let my go and it flew around my face and landed on my feet.
The pressure in the balloon blows and pop just like when the volcano explodes and the ash and lava comes out of the volcano.

Kingston Learns About Volcanic Pressure
Yesterday we were blowing up balloons to see how much air pressure a balloon could handle.
We blew and blew and filled the balloons. Too much air increases the pressure and like the magma in a volcano it needs to be released. A balloon will burst or fly around the room if the pressure gets too high. Inside the Volcano the magma gets bigger and bigger and it looks for the crater to escape. When the magma comes out it is lava that can go hard and the ash clouds go all over the sky.

James' Story About Volcanic Pressure
On Monday afternoon, Room 14 had been learning about pressure by blowing up long thin balloons. As room 14 was blowing there thin balloons they were puffing, blowing and straining. With no warning the pressure caused the balloon to pop just like a volcano exploding.
We learnt about how magma can heat up inside the magma chamber, pressure builds and explodes like an active volcano.

Onosai learns about Volcanic Pressure
On Monday afternoon Miss King handed out balloons and asked us if we can show pressure by blowing up a balloon. So we huffed and puffed and it got bigger and bigger and my one popped. When the volcano shakes that means pressure is building and it is going to explode. And lava, gas, smoke and ashes come out of the volcano and ash clouds block the sky.

Eleva Learns About Pressure
On Monday afternoon we blew up balloons to learn about pressure with room 14. Next I huffed and puffed to blow up my balloons. After lunch time we stood up and let the balloons fly around. Sometimes lava comes from the ground. It is hot and magma heats up in a volcano.
