Reading resources - Charlie and Mr Fox

Readers,

Today your job is to research to answer Mr Metcalfe's questions:

Why does flooding happen?
Could the flooding be linked to global warming?

Make notes on everything that you found out. We are going to use the notes in a presentation later on.

Use the resources on the table.

Charlie, there is an extra resource here for you:
