Shake, rattle and roll- earthquake study in S1-2 geog!!

In social studies, our big idea is to find out who we are in relation to family, community, Scotland, Britain and the world. Through the broad subjects of history, geography and modern studies we are learning more about ourselves by learning more about other people, other places, and other times.

Today, S1-2 are finding out why earthquakes occur, and working in groups to check their understanding. They will then use this knowledge to investigate a recent earthquake, using their findings to explain the physical damage caused.

Here are the class hard at work!












And here they are practicing earthquake protocol!...
