Term 2: Our Living Earth - Volcanos

This Term we will be studying Our Living Earth. 

The Earth has changed alot over the millions of years since it first formed.
Our home Tamaki-Makaurau has many maunga in it.  Some of these are sleeping volcanos.


Today in the Green bubble we painted volcanos erupting at night.  We used brushes, cotton-wool, and sticks to make the different paint effects.






Team 1 teachers have lots of questions about volcanos.
As you can see from this film we have alot to learn - it will be fun learning together.

  1. Wow Green bubble, your volcanoes are beautiful! I love the way you have used those bright red, yellow and orange colours. They make the volcanoes look very real! I can also see the smoke coming out of each of the volcanoes! Well done!

  2. A volcano is a rupture in the crust that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface. Earth's volcanoes occur because its crust is broken into 17 major bits that float on a hotter, softer layer in its mantle. There are three main types of volcano - composite, shield and dome. I really like the colours you have used in your pictures of a volcano. I wonder what noise they make?
