Year 6 have spent this week’s humanities lessons learning about the link between climate change and extreme weather events. They have examined the process by which cyclones (hurricanes and typhoons) are created and used computer software to track them.
Your child now has the skills to tell you whether or not a typhoon is heading in your direction and what strength it is! Year 6 will now consolidate their learning by creating ‘extreme weather pictures’ using the Lens FX app. In the coming weeks, we will examine how flood damage becomes more or less severe dependent on factors including urbanization, strength of flood defenses and local geography.
