This afternoon we were learning all about hurricanes. We looked at maps and learnt where the equator lies and that the worst ever hurricanes have all occurred in places that lie near the equator. We had a look at photographs of places that had been hit by a hurricane and we then created our own hurricane survival kit….what essentials would we take with us if we had to quickly evacuate from a hurricane.

We then looked at another disaster which is currently happening right now in the world with the bush fires in Australia and we looked back at our chosen survival kits to see if the people in Australia would choose similar items and we agreed they would.
