This week, Willow Class at The Rowan School immersed themselves in an exciting week of learning all about volcanoes as part of their Extreme Earth topic. The learners explored how and why volcanoes erupt, gaining a clear understanding of the different parts of a volcano and the powerful effects eruptions can have on the Earth.
Throughout the week, learners engaged in hands-on activities and rich discussions about tectonic plates, magma, lava flow and volcanic landscapes around the world. Their curiosity and enthusiasm for exploring natural disasters shone throughout the topic.
To bring their learning to life, Willow Class ended the week by building their own papier-mâché volcanoes, carefully shaping and painting them in preparation for an exciting classroom eruption. The activity helped consolidate their understanding in a fun, creative and memorable way.
Snita Verma, Principal of The Rowan School, said:
“Willow Class showed fantastic engagement and excitement throughout their Extreme Earth topic. Their volcano models were brilliant, and it was wonderful to see them apply their knowledge in such a creative and hands-on way. This type of immersive learning helps our pupils build confidence, curiosity and a deeper understanding of the world around them.”
