Today, as an introduction to our Natural Disasters topic, James McLeod (Infrastructure Manager for D and G Council) visited P7 to talk to us about the causes and effects of flooding in our local area. He explained the ways in which the council are trying to improve the Whitesands and Greensands areas of Dumfries. We also looked at different ways that homes can be protected from flooding.

We were lucky enough to be able to see a virtual representation of how the area will hopefully look in the future on the big screen, but also using fantastic Virtual Reality goggles. Even Mrs Fisher had a go!

You can have a look at the virtual images and find out more information at:
