I will show the winning volcano of the class in the next blog post which I intend to do today if possible. However, I would first like to issue a message about the volcanoes I have received.

As Geography lead of the school, it is my job not only to be a champion of Geography in the school, but amongst (many!) other things it is also my job to make sure that I give oppertunities for the children to get excited about Geography. So imagine the proud smile on my face when I saw the volcanoes being brought in, as you can see on my post.

I also took the liberty of counting them: 74….. 74 volcanoes is above and beyond the engagement I expected for this project. Our class in particular had the most engagement. It is clear to me that both children and parents have put so much into this and have taken so much time; from research to planning, construction and modelling, resource finding to painting and labelling. Time spent at the kitchen table with your child and they themselves putting in lots of work.

I take a bow and with a smile, thank you for all for your drive in engaging with this. You all deserve a big thank you and you made a Geography lead very happy.

Warm regards,

Mr Arnett
