= = **Flooding Our Learning - Natural Disasters** = = The topic we are covering in our Wiki is floods, with a close focus on the recent floods in Victoria & Queensland. With recent flooding in Victoria & Queensland, we chose to focus on these areas in our e5 unit of work relating to Natural Disasters. The unit was planned and researched around the VELS Level 4, Grade 5&6. Each stage of the e5 model contains activities and lessons relating to the topic of Floods, with each activity being created through a Web 2.0 tool. The integrated activities give students the chance to explore the topic and use their knowledge to complete the activities.
