You really shouldn't live near an active volcano!
Volcanoes erupts because of the core's pressure. From the magma chamber, the magma rises.
Volcanoes are mountain that have openings that allows the magma to go out. Lava, gas, ash and rocks erupts out of the opening. The openings are called craters.
Volcanoes erupts along the boundaries from the Earth's plates, where molten rock is forced up to the crater from the magma chamber. The core can also cause a volcano eruption, it gives pressure to the magma chamber which makes the molten rock rise.
Sometimes volcanic eruptions cause lava to flow out. If the lava reaches the forest, it can cause forest fires. Lava flows can burn houses as well.
Some volcanoes are extinct, some are dormant and some are active. Some volcanoes are strong enough to affect cities.
Learning Intention: We are learning to follow the structure of an explanation.
Success Criteria: I know I can do this when I write the introduction, followed by the explanation sequence, the effect and then the conclusion about how a volcano erupts.

It was a very tiring day!
On Saturday the 3rd of July, my family and I decided to clean our house. We used blue microfibre towels, sweeping brushes and dust pans. The house was really dirty!
I started in the kitchen. My mum told me to mop the whole kitchen until it was colourless. Of course, my mum was joking. She meant she want it to be spot less. It only took me 5 minutes to clean before it looked quite good, so I rinsed the towel and went to the bathroom to mop the floor.
The bathroom was a small place so it took me less than two minutes to wipe the floor of the bathroom. Soon the bathroom floor was sparkling clean. Then my mum told me to wipe the floor of my bedroom.
I wiped my bedroom's floor and had a hard time doing it because there were a lot of hard to reach places. I had to mop underneath my bunk bed that my sister and I sleep's on. I had to hold on to the ladder and wipe with my feet. After that, I had to go under the bed to wipe the corners. Finally, after that I was done.
My favourite part of the day was when I mopped the bathroom because that was the fastest room for me to clean. It was very tiring. I think I might try dragging the towels to be more efficient next time.
