Reply To: Year 6 topic on natural disasters – forest fires

[Helen Schofield Participant]

Hi Elizabeth,

Due to some timetable changes, I’m teaching Year 6 this term and next so I thought I’d use the opportunity to work on a FOSIL project with them.  I’ve discovered your original post when looking for ideas and would appreciate your advice.    As the Australian crisis is very much in the news, would you consider this a relevant time to focus on the question you’ve suggested or is it perhaps too raw?  Having focused on this area with Y6 children, would you consider the project to have been a success and, if so, do you mind passing on some tips?

Thanks,

Helen
