'Publishers' Reading Group

Over the past two weeks the Publishers have been reading about earthquakes and completing activities around their text. 

"I learnt about the trampoline effect. An earthquake forces the ground up and down like a trampoline" - Ava

"I learnt that liquefaction can cause lots of damage. Liquefaction is when the water is pushed up onto the road or land because of the shaking"- Abbey 

"I learnt that earthquakes allow scientists to know what they can do if another one happens again" - Brooklyn

"I learnt that the trampoline effect goes up and down" - Riley C

"I learnt that the fault line was so close to Christchurch that by the time the shock waves got here it didn't have time to die down so it was still strong" - Sienna

"I learnt that earthquakes are measured on the Richter scale" - Angie

"I learnt that small earthquakes can more deadly than big earthquakes " - Xzavyer

Here are some photos of Riley demonstrating the 'Trampoline effect" for us.
