We've (Denver and Sienna) started a little unit study on volcanoes, after visiting Mt Tongariro and going up Ruapehu a couple of weeks ago. Today we looked at the layers of the earth...crust, mantle, liquid and solid core. We made our own 'earths' from playdough to show the layers. The girls also did some handwriting using the letters that make up 'VOLCANO', and Denver did a math worksheet. This afternoon we are watching 'Volcano - The Coast is Toast' (ha, Denver cracks herself up saying that), and making lava cakes.
