Research “Natural Disasters”
Blown away by cyclones……
Washed away by tsunamis ……..
Made into statues by lava from volcanoes ……
We’re researching the wonderful! terrible! awesome! topic of natural disasters.
You’ve seen our class mind map that we made earlier this term, now everyone has made their own mind map to help them get organised to research about an area that interests them.
We’ve got lots of great sites on our deli.ici.ous site as well as books from the library to help us locate the information that we need.
We will be adding our info to our new wikispace and it looks as if our Holiday Project will involve creating something to do with our particular natural disaster.

We had fun this morning playing a grid game to finish off our work on mapping/grids/scale drawings.
First we had to rule up a grid on the page where 1cm: 1 km(or you could use grid paper!)
Add seven checkpoints and start and finish squares. Label these A-G
Players must travel to each checkpoint in order, driving only on the grid lines.
Now get a die and some highlighters ( a different colour for each player )to begin playing.
1. Roll the die and move that many kilometres towards the first checkpoint. A number 5 = 5cm (5km)
2. Player 2 then rolls the die. Continue until both players reach the finish
3. Players count how many kilometres they travelled from start to finish
Scores: First to finish: 10 points
Player who travelled the shortest distance: 10 points
Have a play and let us know what you think
