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.

Jesiah Learns about Pressure
On Monday afternoon Miss King handed out balloons so we could learn about pressure When we blew up our balloon we were puffing and straining. Then we blew it bigger and bigger and we let it go and it made a squeaking sound.
Inside a balloon the air builds pressure just like the magma in a volcano. But when the pressure rises to be released. Magma, gas, smoke and ash come out of the vent and out the crater.

Turuhira Volcano
On Monday Morning Miss King gave out balloons to room 14. I was struggling, huffing and puffing as my balloon expanded and my face went red like I might explode. Room 14's balloons popped like lava coming out of a volcano.
Magma heats up inside the magma chamber and there is too much pressure and it is released like air the in a ballon. Magma, smoke, gas and ash spew out of the volcano as it erupts.

Iva learns about pressure.
On Monday afternoon Miss King handed out balloons. She told us to blow air in the balloons to show pressure like in a volcano. When the magma heats up it needs to find way to escape. Smoke, ash and lava come out of the volcano.

Samuela Learns about Pressure
On Monday afternoon Miss King gave Room 14 a balloon each to show pressure. As we blew the balloons we were puffing and straining hard to expand our balloons. Suddenly our balloons popped like a massive volcano exploding. The balloon made sounds like the wind.
The air in the balloon is like hot magma but in a volcano. When the magma rises and fills up the magma chamber, pressure builds and ash, smoke and magma goes up the vent then out the crater. Then the volcano explodes like fireworks.

Max learns about pressure.
On Monday Miss King gave Room 14 some balloons and then we used them to show her an example of pressure. Miss King said to Room 14 "We have to blow up our balloons." We were huffing and puffing trying to blow them up.
This is just like how the magma heats up inside the volcano. The pressure means that there can be smoke and ash coming out of the volcano and it goes up to the clouds.

Room 14 Learns about Pressure
As part of learning about our active earth, Room 14 spent an afternoon blowing up balloons. Why? Well we were being introduced to the idea of pressure building up in a volcano.
We've written some great stories about our learning to go with this movie that you will be able to read also.

In the holidays I went to health camp. We went to the Zoo and we went to the elephant. We went skate boarding and I went bike riding and slid down a hill . We also had a disco and went to the games room and watched a DVD.
