We have had some excellent homework submitted this week, which included a range of beautiful carnival masks.
One pupil made a super volcanic experiment and we created our own eruption today.
Made simply with Jelly, Bicarbonate of Soda and Vinegar, the children witnessed superb results.
After turning out a jelly mould, we filled a centre hole with Bicarbonate of Soda. This proved to be tricker than it looked and took several attempts!
Once the hole was filled, with a little over spill, Samantha prepared her vinegar and food colouring mixture.
This was injected into the side with magnificent results.
After a few injections, Mrs Warland couldn't resist the temptation to make the volcano fully erupt so poured some vinegar over the surface of the volvano.
We were left with a bubbling mess that dried into igneous rock formations!
When did you do this!? I can't believe I missed all of this exciting work! It looks like you all had a lot of fun, Year 4. Tell me: what did you learn?

Fantastic idea to make the volcano out of jelly and inject the vinegar! I wonder if we could make a really big version? Mrs Warland, did you resist the temptation to eat any of this science exhibit?

I did resist the idea of munching my way through the jelly although I did feel the urge to buy some on the way home for pudding! We are hoping to make a larger version in the next few weeks out of soil instead of jelly....I'm not sure if I could get a funnel big enough for a mold!
