Disco and Daffodil day !!

Disco and Daffodil day !!

Recently we have had lots of fun dressing up and celebrating our Kowhai Disco and Daffodil day. 

 Building Volcanoes in the sandpit. 

Room 6 have been building lots of volcanoes and experimenting with craters and eruptions. 

Check out these pictures !

Pūtaiao with Whaea Georgia

 The volcanologists of Ruma Ono shared lots of their knowledge about volcanoes with Whaea Georgia when she came to see them on Wednesday.

This volcanic vent is full of magma.

We watched this video of an eruption in Hawaii

We predicted, noticed and thought like scientists. What is inside volcanoes? What it gas? How could we tell that gas is coming out of the volcano?

We put vinegar in bottle (the volcano) and baking soda in the balloon. When we tipped it the balloon filled up! On filled up more than the other.

What is going on here?

By the end of the day the balloons looked like this. The volcanologist of Room 3 thought that some air/gas has leaked out of one 'volcano' more than the other. Volcanoes can be different.

Nga mihi Ruma Ono. You are great scientists.
