Another resource that people may or may not be aware of already is the Collins website, where they have made a huge array of resources freely available. There are a huge number of English and Maths resources, including games, e-books and audiobooks, as well as songs and even language lessons too. Here's the link:

When you get to the part that challenges you to create your own animation, why not use your volcano painting from last week and create an animated eruption?
Also, you could try to create a stop motion animation film of an erupting volcano.
