The tricky question this week is slightly different. In IPC we have all been learning that we live on a very active planet and I was wondering if we could find evidence. For extra work this week I would like you to find a newspaper article that is written about a natural disaster that has happened since the start of Year 4. When you have found one,read it then write your own blog entry about it. Don't forget to include the link. When writing about the article you may want to think about the following;
Where is the article set?
What it is about?
When did it take place?
