Floods

Today we are learning about floods. We saw on Children’s Newsround all about the floods in England recently.

Watch the video below to learn what a flood is.

There are different types on floods.

Coastal floods

Coastal flooding usually happens during a tropical storm. It is caused by large storms and large waves moving towards the drier and usually low level land.

Image result for coastal floods

River floods

In higher or colder regions, melting snow or ice have the same affect and cause the river level to rise above its banks and flood.

Boat Activity

If your home got flooded you may need a boat to travel around.

Image result for flood boats

Use things from around your house to make a boat for one of your cuddly toys or actin figures. Perhaps you could test your homemade boat in the bath. Did it float or sink? Please send us photos of your boats.

We are looking forward to seeing you when school reopens as we miss you!

We hope you are well and have been able  to enjoy some of the lovely weather we have had this week – not quite as hot and humid as a Rainforest though!

Below is a photo of the Amazon Rainforest! It is the largest Rainforest in the world, look how beautiful and green it is. Sadly as you may remember there has been lots of forest fires here damaging the forest and destroying the habitats of the animals that we love.

It makes me so happy knowing that you all take such a great interest and care towards caring for the world around us and protecting the animals.
