Year 5 Maths video – Counting in 10s, 100s, 1,000s, 10,000s and 100,000s

Watch this video to find out how people stay safe during an earthquake.

Geography – keeping safe during an earthquake

Create a safety poster to illustrate how to stay safe during an earthquake.

Keep it simple. Choose the important points from the video to include in your poster: a poster needs to get the message across as succinctly as possible. Don't put too much information on the poster, as more information means fewer people will read it all. Photographs or symbols are a great way of conveying your safety message without having to write it out.

Below are some examples of safety posters. Some are more effective than others at getting the information across clearly; think about what makes an effective poster and try to include these elements in your design.
