1. Open evening 1st
October….will
your volcano
erupt?!
****2 house points each and a
geography badge!****

2. • Newspaper to finish
volcano shape
• Paper Mache glue
e.g. pva to stick
newspaper
• Paint to colour after
dry
•Sticky back plastic (if
possible) to cover the
whole thing (except
the vent in the top)

3. Get your glue ready.
UPVA mixed with water
works well.
A paint tray makes it less
messy

4. Roll balls of
newspaper around in
your glue

5. Build up your volcano
from the base….. no
rush, take your time !

6. Keep going until your
volcano starts to take
shape

7. Then you need thin
strips of newspaper
to neaten it all up

8. You can now mould
your volcano to any
shape you like
Make sure you leave
the bottle opening
free from paper

9. After you glue has
dried (Overnight
perhaps) Its ready
for painting

10. Again the colours and
style is up to you,
remember all
volcanoes are unique!

11. You can add texture,
twigs for trees, moss
for vegetation and
even a few buildings
nearby if you like

12. Your volcanoes will be photographed and posted onto the
Geography Society blog & used during Open evening on 1st
October… We will also use them during next week’s club.
****2 house points each and a geography badge!****
You can base your volcano on a real volcano that has erupted…look
online for photos!
