The winning volcano in the class in the end was Joseph’s volcano!

Now again, all of them were fantastic. Some of them bowled me over completely.

From the pictures it may be hard to see, but it was exceptinally well made and painted which caught my eye. Next, he made sure the different parts were very well-labelled, including the labelling of; tectonic plates, subduction zones and tsunami caused by a volcanic landslide.

However, there were several students in the class that had very well made, painted and well labelled volcanoes with additional features, so what set this volcano apart?

While Mrs. Howard and I were scratching our heads at who could be the winner (as it was so hard to choose) we noticed that he had included a booklet documenting his journey from the planning and design, all the way to the construction, painting and with instructions too so that future children could look and find some volcano making tips.

With all of this combined with everything else, we realised that we had the winner.

The award is a book of the child’s choice, which has ended up being a very appropriately chosen book about volcanoes.

Well done Joseph!
