Remembering The Phillipines

22/11/2013

 
PictureGuessing competition for The Philippines.
Year 3 students gathered today to watch some news of the latest reports from The Philippines. Here is a summary of what they learned by the students themselves.

Typhoon Haiyan
The typhoon destroyed houses and is considered one of the worst storms of the century. It struck the Philippines and continued its journey to Vietnam. The worst of the winds reached 315kms per hour.

Devastating Destruction
The typhoon quickly destroyed 80% of neighbourhoods. People sheltered wherever they could, even on rooves. It killed thousands and left many injured. Large waves destroyed coastal areas.

Difficulties
Groups have been working hard to clean up the roads, airports and communities. People from around the country and the world (eg. the Red Cross) have been going to help care for people. There have been difficulties for people finding shelter. Evacuation centres have been set up. Food and water are scarce.

Responding at Pender's Grove
At Pender's people have donated a gold coin during an out of school uniform day. Students have also had a jellybean, marsh mellow and lolly snake guessing competition. All the money raised will go to the Red Cross to help the recovery process in The Philippines. A great thanks to students in 12F and the senior grades who supported the day.

Hi Grade 3 students. I just wanted to say how impressed I am at your journalism skills! Your summary of today's learning is fantastic. It is clear, concise, and really interesting.

Well done to the whole school for making the effort to provide support to people who have been affected by this tragedy.

Keep up the wonderful work. Pender's Grove PS has much to be proud of.

Trish
