Introduce: 6 figure grid references and 8 compass points. A grid reference locates a unique square region on the map. The compass points we use are N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW. * A natural disaster is a natural event such as a flood, earthquake, or hurricane that causes great damage or loss of life. * A volcano is a landform (usually a mountain) where molten rock erupts through the surface of the planet. * An earthquake is a sudden violent shaking of the ground, typically causing great destruction, as a result of movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action. * The Ring of Fire is a major area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. Key facts about Japan and New Zealand e.g. Major cities - Language spoken - Population - Area covered etc etc - Weather statistics Other cross-curricular links to consider (science, art, music, DT): Hook: After phase 1 Emergency drill for an Earthquake. Siren to be played and children will follow the emergency procedure. Hot seating on how they felt at the time of the emergency. Discuss what would need to be thought about if they lived in a country prone to earthquakes. Video stimulus to be shown. Fantastic Finish: Children to choose a natural disaster of their choice. Children will use their knowledge and skills to create an emergency survival kit. Children will create a powerpoint and an emergency kit and present to parents. Have different emergency service stations set up explaining what their departments would do to support the people during the emergency. Children to dress up and make emergency kits that would support their department.

(Do not tell children the Major cities answers, they will then research - Language spoken themselves to find out if they were - Population right) - Area covered etc etc Task 1: Map work. Children will try - Weather statistics to identify Japan and New Zealand * The Ring of Fire is on the map and find out the a major area in the population of the countries. basin of the Pacific Deepening Questions:What Ocean where many countries are near them? What are earthquakes and their capital cities? What continents volcanic eruptions are they in? (Recap over continents) occur. What ocean surrounds these countries? Task 2: Children will split their books in half (horizontally) and will research answers to the key questions provided and display them in their book around the countries flag. Task 3: Children can then research further into these countries and look at what natural disasters occur in both and why. This will introduce them to the ring of fire. They could add any additional information to their fact files. Lesson 2 WALT: Write a detailed comparative piece about Japan and New Zealand.
