Are you ready? Preparing ourselves for a Natural Disaster

This term our 'Big Idea' is Preparing for the future! and our 'Big Question' is Are you ready? Mrs Bowen asked us to sort through a pile of emergency items that she had been Compiled from internet searches, discussions with staff and emergency professionals and come up with our own 'Emergency Kits' that would later be put together and placed in each classroom. To do this we firstly discussed the types of Natural disasters (scenarios) we could be involved in while at school. Then we broke into groups and each focusing on a different scenario sorted through the items Mrs Bowen had given us. Once we were happy with our choices we swapped scenarios and kits with another group for moderation. Coming back together as a class we shared our Kits with each other and saw that there were a lot of similarities between kits. It was from here we were able to put together and overall emergency kit that would best cover all scenarios. We then gave our ideas back to Mrs Bowen.
