Year 3 continued their natural disasters theme this week, exploring earthquakes. Our VIPERS reading lessons led us to the depths of the Earth's core and back again as we finished our book 'The Street Beneath Our Feet', which gave us our first look at tectonic plates. We have since discovered that the movements of these plates are the cause behind the world's earthquakes. We looked further into this and discovered although the UK can experience earthquakes, we are not near a major fault line, so the earthquakes here are not as bad as in other parts of the world. With all this new knowledge gained, we decided to create a Podcast to show it off, so in small groups the children have created host characters and special guests who were caught up in an earthquake. We can't wait to hear the stories when the Podcast go live!
