Smelly Volcanoes

Today was Day 2 of the Grade 6 Volcano project. 
In this photo, Yan (the vegetarian, Russian Hare Krishna student, I have referred to before) does have tape over his nose and a pair of scissors on top.
We started making our volcanoes last week.  Monday morning when I walked into my classroom it stank and the volcanoes were to blame.  In particular Yan's, as we had used flour and water glue to make papier maché for his.  Other students only used paper and tape.
The papier maché had cured over the weekend, which means mould and smells in the tropics.  The class were carrying on this morning about the smell, implementing a variety of nose blocking strategies such as the tape over the nose strategy. Only Yan adopted the Scissor pinching strategy.
The volcanoes have been completed, painted and are now stored in the corridor.  Explosions planned for Thursday.
