Throughout the half term, we have been using different techniques to understand how earthquakes and volcanoes impact the environment and show what happens. We have taken part in making a seismometer to measure an earthquake. We have also made a building out of spaghetti and marshmallows. This was then placed on some jelly and wobbled to show the impact of how the earth moves in an earthquake. The class know the Makaton sign for earthquake and built a house to knock down with giant bricks. In art, Maple class made volcano craft. These crafts consisted of zippy wallet painting to show the explosion of a volcano and a collage of a volcano. We also used clay to make a volcano. We have also completed a volcano experiment to show the eruption. All the pupils have thoroughly enjoyed the topic this half term. Great work Maple class! ### Maple Earthquakes and Volcanoes [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/maple-earthquakes-and-volcanoes/Picture1.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/maple-earthquakes-and-volcanoes/Picture1.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/maple-earthquakes-and-volcanoes/Picture2.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/maple-earthquakes-and-volcanoes/Picture2.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/maple-earthquakes-and-volcanoes/Picture3.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/maple-earthquakes-and-volcanoes/Picture3.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/maple-earthquakes-and-volcanoes/Picture4.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/maple-earthquakes-and-volcanoes/Picture4.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/maple-earthquakes-and-volcanoes/Picture5.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/maple-earthquakes-and-volcanoes/Picture5.jpg) [ Primary Parents Lunch](https://www.elip.org/blog/2024-02-09-13-16-50-primary-parents-lunch) [4TC Key Skills ](https://www.elip.org/blog/2024-02-29-13-36-21-4tc-key-skills) ![Tor View School](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/logo/TV_SVT_Logo_website_Footer_Logos.png) **Tor View School** Clod Lane Haslingden Lancashire BB4 6LR Tel: 01706 214640 ### Useful Links - [Educational Excellence](https://torview.org/educational-excellence/welcome) - [The Sea View Trust](http://theseaviewtrust.co.uk/welcome) - [Valley College](https://www.valleycollege.co.uk/) - [Embrace TSH](https://embracetsh.co.uk/) **The Sea View Trust (Reg in England and Wales)** Trust Central Team The Sea View Trust Ewood Campus, Clod Lane Rossendale, BB4 6LR © Copyright 2020–2026 Tor View School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.elip.org/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
