What comes out of a volcano?

 This week only one class took part in this lesson as all of Year 3 went on a Geography Fieldwork trip to Moors Valley. 

In the lesson the children identified what came out of a volcano and then they used Google Earth to walk around two volcanoes. Here, they identified the features of a volcano from the last lesson as well as describing what they could see as we walked around the volcanoes.
