The third grade class at my school just started the unit on volcanoes.....so we all decided to take a trip to Mt. Yasur our local active volcano. 23 kids hanging off the back of a truck and two teachers....this would never be okay in the U.S....no consent forms....some of the parents probably didn't even know we were going. It was a blast! Most of the kids had never been to see Yasur and were terrified at the top. It's been extremely active lately and gave us quite a show. Then we ran up and down the ash plains and wrote our names on the side of it. Some ash boarders also showed up and made the day even more exciting!
That truck pic is seriously scaring me! All I can think about are the parent phone calls I'd be getting....not to mention getting pulled over by the police heh. Those kids look totally thrilled though! :) Cool writing in the ash, too.
