FIRE: Mount Etna Volcano

We have involved our children of class 2 A in the activity about FIRE. The theme we have chosen is Mount Etna Volcano, called The Mountain of Fire or Mongibello, which is situated on the east coast of Sicily. At first the class teacher Tina, during the science lesson, has explained what is a volcano and then has invited the children to imagine how is the top of the mountain and to draw it focusing on fire colours. They have found inspiration looking at the photos and the paintings about Etna of our famous Sicilian painter Renato Guttuso. The materials we have used have been paper and wax crayons.
