Year 4 Natural Disasters Hook Day
On our hook day we got creative! We made volcanoes using paper mache. Using vinegar, baking soda, food colouring and washing up liquid we were able to create a chemical reaction to make an explosive volcanic eruption! The children had a great day making their volcanoes, see some of our pictures here.
