Year 5 have thoroughly enjoyed learning about volcanoes this week!
We talked about the different types of volcanoes, researched where volcanoes are found, how they are formed and why they erupt.
We then carried out our volcano project and made our own volcanoes in small groups. We started off with a plastic bottle and created our volcano shape around this using newspaper. Next, we used mod rock to finalise our volcano structure and finally painted them.
Then the fun began! We took our volcanoes outside and conducted the “eruption”. Using bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar we created a chemical reaction to mimic the eruption process.
Year 5 worked exceptionally in their groups; showing real team work, communication and scientific skills to carry out this project. It’s safe to say we had a blast!
Safer Internet Day is a global campaign to promote the safe and responsible use of technology to help create a better internet. The year’s theme is ‘Inspiring change? Making a difference, managing influence and navigating change online’.
Using the internet safely and positively is a key message that we promote at Hebburn Lakes Primary School and celebrating Safer Internet Day is a great opportunity for us to re-emphasise the online safety messages we deliver throughout the year.
Our Computing Lead, Miss Begum led an assembly to promote online safety and why it is important. Later on in the week, we will be getting involved with activities aimed at helping us to understand how to keep safe online and how to make the internet better.
