His learning has not stopped at school, so intrigued has he been about volcanoes that he has taken his learning home and continued his enquiry there.
Lucas asked his Mum if they could bake a volcano cake to share with the other Otter scientists.
We had been looking forward to seeing (and tasting) his creation all week. He promised that it would explode and talked to us about the ingredients he had been to buy with his Mum.
We were not disappointed. Lucas was waiting in line for me on Friday morning with an enormous cake box. His Mum carefully lifted off the lid to reveal an incredible cake, with lava icing and a magma chamber..it even came complete with a dinosaur scene around the lower slopes. WOW! The other children quickly gathered around Lucas and his volcano cake. Everybody was very impressed.
We had some visitors during our science lesson on Friday and even they couldn't help but be drawn in by the impressive volcano cake.
After lunch Mrs TC and Lucas cut the cake...leaving enough for our two visitors and me and Mrs Lewis, who were on PPA.
Lucas and Mrs Sturrock set off on a magical mystery tour to find the four adults he had promised cake to and eventually found us all. We were all very happy to see the cake as we had been eyeing it up all day. Lucas very proudly gave us our slices and smiled as we told him that it was as delicious as it looked.
What a wonderful way to link home and school learning. Well done Lucas! It was so lovely to see you so inspired by your enquiry learning.
Lucas, the cake was truly delicious! The lava was my favourite part. Thank you for sharing your cake with us all at school. I look forward to hearing about what else you have done at home.
