Flood Protection Activities


This week, Anna - from the Environment Agency - has spent time with each year group helping us to think about  how we should be prepared for potential floods. Here are some thoughts from our pupils.


Today, Yr6 had a special guest from the Environment Agency who taught us about flood defence.We did a few activities.

  • Remember the warning symbols 
  • Write down how to stay safe in a flood 
  • Being a News reporter about a flood.
We know almost all the symbols that the environemt agency uses:

  • water near the top floor of the roof is you will need to evacuate immeadiately,
  • water up to the first floor is be careful,
  • water on the ground means be prepared for the flood.

We also learned that to break a car window with out getting hurt you should use the head of a car seat as got those metal things can break the window easily. (Don't try it unless you are in an emergency though - it could be expensive!) 

Other year groups have made rain gauges and learned about grab bags. Thank you, Anna, for helping us to understand more about the dangers of Flooding.
