# 34SW - Term 1 Update

   2 November 2026   [Toby Everitt](https://moredon.swindon.sch.uk/blog/author/teveritt)   [Class Updates](https://moredon.swindon.sch.uk/blog/category/class-updates)

**Term 1: Vicious Volcanoes**

This term, we have loved learning about Vicious Volcanoes. We explored the parts of a volcano, tectonic plates, and how volcanoes and earthquakes are formed. We also enjoyed debating whether it would be a good idea to live near a volcano!

In Geography, we investigated different rocks and fossils, learned about the roles of geologists and palaeontologists, and created our own clay fossils. In Art, we studied Joseph Wright and created our own volcano-inspired paintings using his dramatic use of light and colour. To finish the topic, we had great fun making lava-inspired bath bombs!
