Editing a story

Here is our edited story.
Things we learnt about were
We aren’t allowed to use then, and, also and because at the beginning of a sentence.
Speech marks go on the OUTSIDE of the full stop or other punctuation.
The end of a sentence can be marked by a full stop, an exclamation mark or a question mark. You don’t need to put an extra full stop after a question mark.
Remember to check ALL capital letters. Sometimes we need to put them in and sometimes we need to take them out.
On Monday 24th September 2018 Room 7 did a blindfold challenge. We wanted to have fun and make our morning a bit interesting by playing a game.

Firstly Miss Ashley told us the rules which was “no touching the tables or pieces of paper on the floor or you will lose points.“  However you are allowed to touch the chairs because you sometimes have to step over them to get to the end. Next we got into buddies. My buddy was Lucina.  We had to line up by the heater in our buddies.

First it was my turn to go so Lucina (my buddy)  put the blindfold on me (over my eyes) and helped me to stand up. The blindfold was tight it felt like a constrictor boa on my face. I felt so confused and disorientated because the blindfold was covering my eyes. Lucina told me to “go left, right, straight and step over.” I was feeling nervous and a little bit scared because “what if she was tricking me?“ and I was really doing something silly. I got to the end safely and took my blindfold off.

Next it was my buddies turn so I helped her put the blindfold on. I told her to walk straight first, then next turn left. She doesn’t know her lefts and rights so she went the wrong way.I said “no your other left” and it was a little bit funny. In the end we got to the blue fruit tray and we made it without losing any points!

I think I would like to do this activity again because it was cool to do something different and fun in class especially since it’s the end of the term and I think we are all feeling kind of tired.

Create Volcano Speech

A volcano is a mountain with a hole where lava comes from. Parts of the volcano is lava, throat, molten magma, secondary vent, ash cloud and vent.



When a volcano is active, materials  come out of it. The materials include lava, steam, ash and broken rock pieces.

Vulcan is a man that is a  Roman God of Fire and when he gets angry most of the volcanoes erupt. That’s where the word volcano comes from.

There are 1,500 active volcanoes in the world. Most of these volcanoes is around the ring of fire. There are 452 volcanoes in the Ring of Fire. 75% of the Earth’s volcanoes + 90% of the Earth’s earthquakes happen here.

Volcanoes form when magma from the outer core pushes through the crust of the Earth. Once the magma is out of the crust it is called lava. A ash cloud forms when the volcano erupts and smoke rising up which is the ash cloud.

There are three different kinds of volcanoes. They are dormant, active and extinct. Dormant means they have erupted in the past but are sleeping at the moment so won’t erupt. Active volcanoes can erupt soon. Extinct volcanoes erupt a long time ago and won’t erupt again.
These are the rocks from the volcano that erupted

Natural Disasters

Information report: natural disasters

Natural disasters are a phenomenon which occur all around the world. Some are caused by moving tectonic plates, some are caused by wind and air pressure, and some are caused by other natural disasters.

Volcanic Eruptions 

Volcanoes are made out of magma that forms a volcano. It also forms lava and ash clouds. It has liquor and gas which forms lava. Vulcan is a roman God of fire. When he is angry the volcanoes erupt. Volcanoes are around a ring of fire.

Earthquakes are when the ground suddenly shakes from the ground like when christchurch get them because it is in the ring of fire.

Hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones re the same thing. But happened differently and different country's call these stuff America calls it Hurricane And New Zealand people call it Cyclones and Asia calls it Typhoon. Today there is a hurricane is happening in north carolina and south carolina it is big i’m just guessing.

Tsunamis

 A tsunami is a very dangerous natural disaster and is made by tectonic plates and oceanic plates clyding. The oceanic plates goes down and the continental plates goes up and the continental plates goes up and pushes the water to create a 

Tsunami.

Tornadoes -

 have cold dry air and warm dry air and the cold air is up the top of the tornadoes and then that means hot dry air goes and the bottom. Tornadoes are like dangerous thunderstorms and tornadoes are over land and if it was in the water it will be called a waterspouts. Tornadoes go short distance by it is fast.

Floods -

and drought flood has heavy rainfalls and it is low lying and it is really low and not high but sometimes it can carry house light ones and the house could crash into the trees and it can breck apart. When you are not close to the flood you will have time to get ready for themself and help their house to been strong but when you are really close you won and you have no time to help yourself but you make yourself have time but your house will not be strong to keep still. Droughts are when it is really dry like deserts and it has no water or plants and house will be gone and people will not be alive living in a drought.

Blizzards -

 Blizzard is when snow is falling from the sky. Blizzard are different to ground blizzard because blizzard have snow coming from the sky and the ground snow comes on the ground and grows and grows making the snow go everywhere. When there are blizzard you start to get frostbite and when you get that your fingertips and ears and on your tip of your nose freeze because they're far away from the heart. The three hyperthermia are shivering, blue nails and pale skin, you need a bottle of water to breathe and you can go to the shop to get one.

Dust storm -

 a dust storm is when strong wind blow loose and sand and dirt from dry surface and if you didn't know that the wind picks up the dirt and places it somewhere else and just sits there. Earth's dust storm is stronger than Mars because we have stronger wind and a dust storm starts by crust of winds. The dust storm last 1 hour or 2 hours .

Wildfire -

 is when the forest is on fire. The nine type of wildfire is wildfire,bushfire,desert fire,forest fire,grass fire,hill fire,peat fire,vegetation fire and veld fire. There is a negative impacts of the wildfire and that is the trees burn down and there would not be any oxygen but that is good is that when the trees rot it makes the soil richer and stronger and makes new species like animals and plants. The wildfire can be caused by man - made that is when people caused like when they use smoke,90%,arson and out of control fire.

Man-made and natural disasters can devastate people and the places we live in. Although we can’t predict most natural disasters, we can do our best to keep safe and look after our properties and things we value.
