not do.
4 Within each team, create small ‘buzz’ groups of two or three children.
Give them two minutes to come up with some suggestions and then ask
them to share these with their team.
5 Then record their suggestions on the board.
Note: You could either use this as a genuine opportunity to revise a safety
drill, e.g. a fire drill, or you could ask the children to use their background
knowledge from the TV news to propose possible safety rules.
Follow-up
• Create a class safety chart and display the children’s rules in the
classroom.
• Ask the children to email a school in a place where these natural disasters
occur. What safety measures do these schools have in place?
