V is for Victory and Volcano!

This week we were learning the letter V and we thought about the volcano that has been on the news lately. The volcano at Mount Tongariro has been erupting and so we made a mini version ourselves. We used playdough to make the mountain, then put some baking soda and dye powder (red to look like lava) in hole in the middle. Then we carefully poured vinegar into the volcano and Whoosh! the lava spilled out over the top of the mountain. You can also do this at home with sand or mud instead of playdough.
