Natural Disaster Readiness with Year 3

 Today Year 3 learnt that nature isn't always kind, but we can be prepared.

What are some of the natural disasters we know?

Zoey "Tsunami & flood"

Rhyden "Hail, lightning, earthquake & fire"

Margaux "Whirlpool"

Shion "Volcano"

Isla "Slips"

Elsie "Hurricane"

Christina "Snow Storm"

Billie "Bee swarm"

Jack "Coconut falling on your head"

Mahina "Sandstorm"

Amelia "Cliff crumbling"

Milan "Cyclone"

Sammy "Tornado"

Ciaran "Forest Fire"



We revised the things we can do in the event of a natural disaster:

- drop, cover & hold in an earthquake 

- ring 111 in an emergency

- learn your address and parent's phone number

- check heavy objects in the home are secure

- learn the tsnami alarm that tells us to move to high ground 



AND lastly please discuss a fire evacuation plan at home with our families.

By completing these activities we are in the draw to win an iPad from  Civil Defense.  Fingers crossed!
