#NaturalDisasters


This term our inquiry is on NATURAL DISASTERS ! 
We have 2 Inquiries that we have been learning about:

1st Inquiry

This is a whole class inquiry and we have researching about 
EARTHQUAKES!

1) We learnt about the EARTHS LAYERS
2)What an Earthquake is and how it is caused?
3) Countries that earthquakes have hit (including New Zealand) and we looked at the after effects.

2nd Inquiry
We selected a Natural Disaster we wanted to inquiry into and found out:
- What is it? (example: what is a tornado)
- How it is caused?
-Interesting facts about it
-Places (country/cities) that this natural disaster has hit.
-After effects it had on people who lived there
-What we can do to prepare ourselves for this natural disaster.

It has been fun, we have learnt new things and this has helped us prepare for future events.

We have created posters to display our new knowledge, Come into class and have a look!
