Room 1 have been looking at children in disasters all over the world as part of our oral language program. This morning the class were very interested to discover that the tent and equipment provided to the people in the photo was called a Shelter Box and that Shelter Box was a aid organisation.
Here's some of the written responses about Shelter Boxes from our discussion.
What is a Shelter Box?
They help people set up camps. They help people when they don't have families. The people need shelter that are alone in cities. They help people when they have nowhere to live. By Kyra.

Hey Room 1! What say we make our own version of a shelter box? I was very interested in your ideas when you predicted what was in the Shelter boxes. And I liked the careful thinking that went into ordering the importance of items from 1-10. Ms H
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your project! ShelterBox would be keen to know if you managed to make your own version of ShelterBox?
ReplyDeleteThe children drew and labelled things that they thought were important to provide as shelter. It was an interesting discussion when the children ranked their items in order of importance with reasons too.
