In this second week of colonial vocacional the children have been making three dimensional volcanoes using cardboard, newspaper and paper maché and an impressive total of 55 volcanoes were constructed by the end of the week.
Luckily we were able to use mainly recycled materials including left over bottles and cardboard packaging from the children's refreshments, just a quick scrub and they were ready to go.
We divided the process into different stages to allow the volcanoes to dry and harden before being painted which gave us time to play 'Pin the lava on the volcano', a classic game adapted to fit our volcano theme.
The children all really enjoyed making things with their hands and the prospect of using paint never fails to whip up an excited frenzy.
