Extreme weather is one of the biggest threats facing our world. To minimise the impact, communities, economies and health care systems need to respond and adapt. But how?
This term's Burnet News topic is global - that’s why young people around the world are invited to take part in this learning project and join a global conversation. The conversation will also cover the current COVID-19 pandemic, and explore the similarities between responding to an extreme health-care event and extreme weather. To access the online hub and take part discussions, email the UKS2 address UKS2@thewestbrooktrust.org to request a login. All children in years 4 - 6 will be able to request a temporary login, for the period of school closure.. Remember to state your child's name and class in the email. https://burnetnewsclub.com/
