Tiny Houses

Mexico's Natural Wonder: Paricutin Volcano

WALT: Increase our knowledge by reading a wide range of texts (Article a day - Book of Knowledge)

For this task, I have read an article from Readworks and I have written what I have learned.

I learned that the Paricutin Volcano in Mexico earned its title as one of the seven natural wonders of the world in an explosive way. In 1943, this volcano emerged from a cornfield in a village about 200 miles (321 kms) west of Mexico City.

I also learned that people living in the area had been feeling the ground shake and hearing it rumble for weeks. Then one day, the earth in the cornfield rose up about six feet! Ash and vapor exploded from the ground. By later that day, a small cone shape had formed. The volcano had begun erupting, sending lava and pieces of molten rock into the air. As these rock pieces landed around the new volcano, the cone shape grew bigger and bigger.

Lockdown

There’s a pandemic spreading around the world

People dying, crying, praying

In a craze

In a daze

Staying at home for all the days

Please people don’t eat bats again

Because the world will never be the same 

We can’t go out and do what we normally do

Got away from school

Working from home for me and you

Surrounded by our family

Not as cool 

As being at school

Google Hang Outs

But we’ll be back to normal without a doubt

So keep staying home and saving lives

So we’ll all win the PRIZE!!!
