Term+1+Inquiry+-+Are+we+prepared

Term 1 inquiry will focus on natural disasters in New Zealand and around the world.

=__Inquiry__= The best defense against natural disasters in preparedness. This term Room 8 will be looking at how to prepare for a natural disaster, how to react during a natural disaster and how to behave after a natural disaster. We will be looking at historical natural disasters and learning from these experiences.

=__Literacy__= ====Room 8 will be reading about historical natural disasters. The readings will be personal recounts, poems and factual articles. Students will be looking at the different types of language being used in the texts, we'll be discussing the important ideas in the text and students will be asked to relate these ideas to their own personal experience. They will then use the information they have collected from the text and create a piece of writing designed for a particular audience.====
