I hope you have enjoyed learning about Natural disasters so far this term. This week you are going to use what you already know and your research skills to complete a personal project. I have posted the instructions below but if you have any other questions just let me know on the Teams page.

Natural Disasters Personal Project

You could also make your own model of a Natural Disaster using any materials you think would be appropriate for example; bottles, pringles tubes, paper, card, etc. This is completely optional as I understand that you and your parents have lots of other things to do just now.

The following link will take you to a game which allows you to plan how you would prevent a natural disaster from happening.

https://www.stopdisastersgame.org/stop_disasters/

You could also try to experience what it might be like for children who do need to leave their homes when a Natural Disaster occurs near their home.

• Try to make a suitable shelter from found resources Shelter Instructions
• Pack a small bag with emergency resources   My Evacuation Survival Kit Activity
• Reflect on what it might feel like for people who are displaced by natural disasters by writing a diary entry from their point of view

Did you know that St. Andrew’s Hospice need £88,000 per week to operate?

Ladywell Primary have always helped to support our local hospice by taking part in the Teddy Bear’s Picnic, the Wear Yellow Walk and lots of other events throughout the year. However, this year things are a little different so Miss Conway has organised 2 exciting events that we can all take part in safely at home.

We understand that not everyone will be in a position to donate at the moment, however, please know that St. Andrew’s Hospice, the patients and their families appreciate all that you do, whether that is raising awareness through participating in a challenge or making a donation.

I am looking forward to seeing all of your photos and videos on the Teams page or the school Twitter Page.

Take care,

Mrs Hutchison
