Volcanoes in CM1

During the visual art classes (EMILE EMILE Enseignement d’une Matière Intégrée en Langue Étrangère

Dénomination retenue dans le 1^er degré. Content an Language Integrated Learning (CLIL : http://www.emilangues.education.fr/) ) all the CM1 classes created their own paper mache volcanoes.

It took us 3 lessons to get it done in which the children had a good time and enjoyed working as a team. They also discovered how to create the volume, how to make paper mache « glue » and what varnish is for.

The results were astonishing : the volcanoes looked so real !
