We hope all teachers and students are safe in the areas of Queensland and New South Wales affected by the cyclone weather! We understand that many state schools (any South of Agnes Water to Northern New South Wales) are closed today, the radar shows a very large rain front coming through. Near Brisbane it’s been raining for many hours already, and the wind is now picking up as well. It’s good to be inside, although things are starting to feel moist (reminding Arjen of when he lived in Cairns).
Why not take this opportunity to replace dry old teaching materials using coupon code DEBBIE for 25% discount on any Understanding our World® unit. This special Cyclone Debbie offer ends Sunday 2nd April.
Did you know that, in the Understanding Our World®units, Year 5 students did work on Natural Disasters during this term!
Also, do take a peek at the Open Source Earth Wind Patterns site at NullSchool – using live data to create a moving image. All open. Beautiful.
History and Geography are no longer boring and dry, and the material provides a wide variety of topics.
