Living on the edge

Hello, few days ago I went to Tundra for the holidays.
It was freezing cold so i just stayed in for most of the trip.
But when I tried to go outside I can feel a frostbite.
It was weird because there were no trees so the house wasn't a house. It was a cave but the cave wasn't that cold because there were lots of us. The worst thing of was having to take a shower. We all had to take cold because if you do have hot water it would get cold because the temperature.

The WWF World WildLife Fund

The WWF is helping the Saimaa ringed seal because there is only 360 individuals left. They are on of the most endangered seals in the world.
The seals gives birth in a lair it digs into a snowbank.
But if there aren't any snow banks the seal birth them on ice.
When the seal do on ice there is 50% that the pups will die.
So the WWF build the snow banks for the seals to give birth in

Every Kid should learn how to swim?

I believe that every kid should learn how to swim(agreeing).

My first reason is as they grow up having kids and one day they will be having a joyful swim around but suddenly their kid got too far to the sea and started to drown and what do you do? (thinking)what?.

Not knowing what to do because you can’t swim the reason why you never had learned a lesson how to swim, what would happen to you child?!.

To start with, most people will agree that kids should learn to swim while there young.

In my opinion kids should have the chance to swim and they should learn how to swim in a deep pool.

If the kid learn how to swim in a baby pool they will pretend to swim but the thing is that they were actually touching the ground.

I’m absolutely certain that every child in NZ should learn to swim. It is important to acknowledge that paying for swimming lessons can be very expensive, especially if there are more than 1 kid in each family. In light of this, the NZ school system requires students to learn to swim and this is usually free.

It would be worthwhile if every kid should join a swimming lesson so they can learn how to swim

Kids should get free time at school everyday?

I disagree that kids should get freetime every day. My first reason is  if they have free time everyday because the kids get bored and have nothing else to do they just have anything in their little brains with something smart just video games and to much eye looking at the netbook playing just games.

In my opinion they should be only playing games and having free time because when they get to collage they will do anything is act dumb because of nothing that they had learn all they had learn is how to play a game that through these year no learner that means they have to start the whole year again of not knowing what to or just staying in one class for a bit.

But on the other hand people or kids will agree just because they are sick of learning they all just want to is play games and parents well some won’t even care just mind what they are doing.

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
